Sega didn’t announce one game, they announced five at The Game Awards 2023, confirming that they are finally, finally reviving some of their greatest cult classic games and series for modern consoles.
There are new games being made for Jet Set Radio, Crazy Taxi, Shinobi, Golden Axe, Streets of Rage and more that has not yet been announced. In the words of the chap in the trailer: “SEGA!”
From the snippets of gameplay from each, I’m definitely excited! It’s not entirely clear if Jet Set Radio and Crazy Taxi will be remakes as opposed to new games – those stages certainly look familiar – but Sega hasn’t really defined what each of the projects will actually be just yet.
“In recent years, Sonic the Hedgehog has forged new paths for Sega, bringing the franchise to life and reaching new audiences in ways we had only dreamed of in the past. Building off that success, we are digging into our legacy and reimagining several franchises to bring these games to more audiences around the globe,” says Co-COO of Sega Corporation and CEO of Sega of America, Shuji Utsumi. “Today’s announcement is just the start of our initiative. First and foremost, our ambition will be to create great games with memorable characters and worlds. We hope fans of all ages will look towards our future with anticipation as we release these projects in the coming years.”
Sega would love for people to give them their email address, in exchange for emailed updates on the five classic IP revivals. You can visit nextlevel.sega.com to sign up and receive updates, if you do.
