Sega has cancelled a long-promised project internally referred to as its “Super Game,” according to reporting based on the company’s latest financial update. The project was announced nearly four years ago and had been described as part of Sega’s broader strategy, including an aim to deliver a title that would attract far more active users than the company’s existing games. Multiple outlets say Sega’s “Super Game” was delayed and did not reach the originally expected timeframe, with one report noting it was previously targeted for release by the end of the prior fiscal year.
While the “Super Game” is ending, Sega’s plans to revive classic titles are not affected. Eurogamer and other outlets report that remakes or revivals such as Crazy Taxi and Golden Axe are still moving forward, along with Jet Set Radio. The cancellation comes as Sega continues to reassess how it allocates resources and, as described in the financial context, pivots away from live-service approaches after industry examples of such efforts struggling.
