Sega moving ahead with classic games revival effort

Matthew Wilson 3 weeks ago Software & Gaming

While Sega did ultimately decide to cancel its ‘Super Game' project, the publisher is doubling down on its plans to revive classic franchises. 

As part of a recent earnings report, Sega confirmed it had cancelled its ambitious ‘Super Game' project, which was announced back in 2021, followed by a corporate partnership with Microsoft, presumably so that the dev team could use Azure cloud computing in some fashion.

While the Super Game is no more, the initiative to revive classic franchises is alive and well. Sega announced plans to revive a number of classics with brand-new games back in 2023, with new games planned for Golden Axe, Jet Set Radio, Crazy Taxi and Streets of Rage.

This is all on top of the continued development of Sonic titles, which have been doing quite well in recent years, in part thanks to the success of the film series.

KitGuru Says: Crazy Taxi is one that I could see doing numbers in today's gaming market.

KitGuru Games: Predicting the Next Half a Decade of Call of Duty Releases

Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790) famously once said: “The three absolutes in life are death, taxes and a new Call of Duty coming out every single year”. Sure enough, the US founding father has yet to be proven wrong, with Activision and a dozen studios having ensured that come the tail-end of any given year, there will be a new COD ready to release. And so, what can we expect from the franchise later this year? What about 2027, 2028 or even 2030? By looking back at the past two decades of Call of Duty games, their trends, progression and regression, I believe I can predict the next 5 years worth of annual COD entries.
