SEGA launches SEGA UNIVERSE initiative to spotlight legacy IPs

gamingApr 24, 202613565

SEGA launched the SEGA UNIVERSE initiative, opening an official site and releasing a "NO OLD, STAY GOLD" concept trailer. The campaign names anniversary projects for legacy franchises including Out Run, NiGHTS, Sakura Wars, Streets of Rage, Fantasy Zone, Rent A Hero, Guardian Heroes, Dynamite Deka and SGGG. The initiative covers cross-media offerings such as film, music, fashion and merchandise tied to those anniversaries. That creates opportunities for remasters, new games, collaborations and expanded merchandise, making classic SEGA properties more visible to modern audiences.

Didn’t they already do this a couple years ago with Dreamcast era stuff and still have nothing to show for it?

Segagaga (SGGG) is definitely the most surprising thing here.

Didn’t they announce something like this before that we still haven’t seen any releases from?

And yet, no new Jet Set Radio.

Is this the long fabled Sega "Super Game"?

A Crazi Taxi collection and JSRF would be nice

Wonder if this has anything to do with the games they announced at TGA a few years back? Feel like A new Golden Axe was among them though. And where’s the new Virtua Fighter? Maybe I’m misunderstanding what this is, idk.

SEGA RISTART IS RIGHT THERE CMON

I find it disheartening that they showed gameplay of games like the new Streets of Rage and Golden Axe almost 3 years ago, but the news now don’t show any progress. Makes me think these vague announcements aren’t worth much and the stuff from 2023 may be dead.

Out Run.. yess… fuck yes.

Unfortunately, the last time they did this (announced five revivals of old franchises) only *one* of them actually got made. youtu.be/Z9d9tGZWG70?...
