Sega President and Chief Operating Officer Shuji Uchimi has officially confirmed the cancellation of the ambitious and long-secret Super Game project that has been in development since 2021. According to management, the main reasons for the closure were unbearable financial risks and the need to scale up the infrastructure to huge proportions to maintain shared software services.
Initially, the concept of Super Games was envisioned as a global ecosystem of multiple interconnected AAA games capable of exceeding the usual industry standards. However, after suffering significant losses, including a $200 million writedown following the acquisition of Rovio (Founder angry Birds), and poor performance in the field of action, the company decided to scale back the expensive initiative. Despite the flagship creative being shut down, Sega does not intend to completely abandon the live gaming market: the company will continue to support existing projects, such as Phantasy Star Online 2: New Genesis and are preparing for internal testing of the strategy Total War: Warhammer 40,000 The end of 2026.
