Sega plan more remakes and remasters, but still aiming to create revolutionary “super game"For release before March 2026

For release before March 2026

Persona 5 Royal is a JRPG from Atlus that’s making its way to PC on Steam and the Microsoft Store in October.

In a message in their latestfinancial report, Sega CEO Haruki Satomi writes that they want to create projects that “cause social phenomena”.

“One key to achieving this goal is whether we can draw together a large community, involving not only players but also streamers who stream the game and viewers who watch their videos,” Satomi continues. “If we can set off this kind of virtuous cycle, I believe reaching target lifetime sales for the ‘Super Game’ of ¥100.0 billion is entirely feasible.” ¥100 billion is around £584m.

There’s no mention of which Sega studio is developing the so-called “super game”, although it’s worth mentioning that Sega have invested heavily in PC developers over the past 10-15 years. They own studios including Relic Software, Sports Interactive, Creative Assembly and Two Point Software. Their Japanese developers have also invested in PC ports, including for games in the Persona and Like A Dragon series.

In any case, if there are to be more remakes in Sega’s future, I choose to believe I’m getting the Championship Manager 2 Italia re-release I’ve always wanted before the super game lands.
