During the company’s latest earnings Q&A, SEGA revealed that the company is planning to release fewer new games in the next year. However, SEGA plans to invest in ATLUS, Sonic Team, and Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio for their upcoming titles.
SEGA’s current fiscal year ends on March 31, and the company released several titles within the year, including Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii, Metaphor: ReFantazio, and Sonic X Shadow Generations. However, fewer games will be released overall by SEGA from April 2025 to March 2026.
Thus far, SEGA’s upcoming slate of unannounced titles includes Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds, Shinobi: Art of Vengeance, Project Century, the new Virtua Fighter game, and IP revivals for Crazy Taxi, Jet Set Radio, Golden Axe, and Streets of Rage. There’s also a new Football Manager game in development at Sports Interactive, but it’s unclear if it will release in the fiscal year.
“The plan is currently being formulated, but we expect the volume of new titles in Full Game to be lower than this fiscal year,” SEGA said. “On the other hand, we expect continuous revenue contribution from repeat sales of new titles in Full Game this fiscal year and full-scale revenue contribution from new titles in F2P.”
SEGA continued, “Atlus is an important studio for us to expand Japanese IPs overseas and we think it is necessary to strengthen it, and the studios involved in the Sonic and Like a Dragon IPs are also short of staff, and we are looking to reinforce personnel through additional hiring and M&A.”
