SEGA: New Sega game will be great

Sega wants to make a great game. Sounds stupid, but that’s how it is. The first details about the so-called Super Game project were already available last November, and there was also talk of a cooperation with Microsoft. Now there is new information, published on Sega’s career portal interview Executive Vice President Shuji Utsumi, General Manager Katsuya Hisai and Producer Masayoshi Kikuchi talk about the project.

The “super game” is part of Sega’s 5-year plan, which began in 2019. What sounds like a political project by the People’s Republic of China is simply an attempt to finally exploit the great potential of Sega and its brands again in order to ultimately generate growth. A “super game” should have four characteristics: AAA level, multi-platform release, simultaneous worldwide publication and multilingualism. The Japanese, on the other hand, owe us genre, date or other specific information.

There is information about manpower: At the start, 50 people were employed in the responsible department, but Sega assumes that hundreds of people will work on it in the end. According to Kikuchi, this includes people from all Sega areas, whether from consumer, arcade or mobile development. If you can speak Japanese (or get help from Google), you can find out on the Sega website a few more details, for example that the “super game” will be realized with the help of Unreal Engine 5.
