SEGA has declared its intention to release a ‘super game’ by March 2026, as seen in a recent SEGA Sammy business report. This is included in its plan to become a “Global Leading Contents Provider” by 2030. But what exactly does a super game mean?
In a slide detailing the future plans for SEGA’s Entertainment Contents Business, the following information is shared on the mysterious project: “To achieve this goal and elevate the business to the next level, we are conducting R&D activities to create a “Super Game,” a major title that scales globally, by the fiscal year ending March 2026.” So it’s something new for the legendary Japanese developer tech-wise, at least.
Whether or not this super game is linked to existing SEGA IPs isn’t entirely clear. On slide seven, the creation of a super game is listed separately from strengthening SEGA’s established IP and proactive investment. On slide 20 you can read a brief description of what a super game is, next to a paragraph on SEGA’s intent to revive some of dormant series. “As the name implies, a “Super Game” involves the concept of a game that stands head and shoulders above normal games. I encourage stakeholders to look forward to the fruit of our efforts, which include R&D to create a game that builds a whole worldview involving the entire gaming ecosystem, including not only players but also streamers who stream the game and their viewers.”
