Saga Origins aims to empower its studio partners by enabling them to achieve their creative visions without being constrained by traditional industry mandates and executive-driven decisions that often stifle innovation. The company’s mission is to bring cutting-edge, quality games to players worldwide, whether they are traditional online games or Web3 experiences. Saga Origins encourages its independent developer partners to make bold artistic choices, emphasizing the importance of artistic freedom.
One of the games announced by Saga Origins is Lussa: The Final Frontier, an MMO space adventure that offers an unparalleled battle royale experience. Players must team up to explore and conquer new planets while fighting other groups of migrating humans in search of a new home for humanity.
Another title unveiled during the event was God’s Legacy, an immersive third-person RPG adventure set in a vast open world filled with ancient mysteries and futuristic wonders. The game features hyper-realistic environments crafted with Unreal Engine 5.4 and incorporates Slavic, Sumerian, and Olmec mythologies, dynamic combat, intricate world-building, and engaging mini-games.

This narrative turn-based strategy-RPG is set in a dark, collaborative sci-fi universe and combines immersive storytelling with strategic turn-based combat. Players can make choices that influence the game’s universe and engage in both single-player campaigns and multiplayer modes. The game also leverages blockchain technology to enable player ownership and community-driven governance.
