On July 1, 2002, "Sakura Wars World Project" (サクラ大戦 ワールド・プロジェクト) was announced in the Goshiki Hall of the Akasaka Prince Hotel, 8 Sakura Wars related titles were announced to release in July of 2002. The purpose of the project was to extend the franchise into multiple new genres and to revitalize the series falling sales numbers. Most of the games that were announced did release but three of the games were scrapped. There were also two announced OVAs series which were all released. The following games released for the project did not see great finical success. None one of the games individually came close to selling half a million in sales and the project failed to revitalize the series falling sales numbers.
