The Japanese company SEGA has canceled the development of an expensive project that was supposed to be “more than a normal game”.
In the last five years, SEGA has had a vision of a project called Super Game. It was their attempt to build some kind of platform that would connect several of their franchises, something like Fornite in the Japanese way. They were ready to invest 100 billion yen for that project as well.
However, it seems that the Super Game project wasn’t that great after all – because Sega just confirmed that they were canceled the further development of that platform. What’s more, they crossed off plans to break into the live service gaming scene.
About a hundred developers who worked for them on free-to-play games were transferred to premium games from existing Sega franchises. Along the way, it was confirmed that there is still a plan to revive forgotten Sega classics such as Crazy Taxi, Jet Set Radio, Golden Axe i Streets of Rage.
Let’s remember, at the end of 2023, SEGA announced a big initiative to bring back its former hits. However, of those projects, so far they have managed to bring back only Shinobi, and that quite triumphantly. Last year’s Shinobi: Art of Vengeance garnered good reviews, but sales results were not disclosed.
