Expect a steady stream of your favorite SEGA titles! SEGA has stated its ambitious plans to release content annually from its three major franchises: Like a Dragon, Persona, and Sonic, according to industry source Midori (@MbKKssTBhz5).
This focus on these “Big 3” isn’t entirely surprising. 2024 saw the release of games that mixed original content with spin-offs, such as Persona 3 Reload and Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth. Alongside the eagerly awaited:
- Sonic X Shadow Generations
- Persona 5: The Phantom X
- Sonic Rumble (mobile)
Here’s what this means for fans
- Expect a consistent flow of content from your favorite SEGA franchises, keeping you engaged year-round.
- SEGA assures that annual releases won’t solely be mainline entries. Remakes, remasters, DLC expansions, and even ventures into “other media” like TV shows and movies are all on the table.
- Midori assures fans that the quality of, particularly, the Persona series won’t be compromised. Development for multiple titles happens concurrently, ensuring a dedicated team for each project.

This news is consistent with SEGA’s recent restructuring efforts, which resulted in employment losses throughout Europe. Nonetheless, their emphasis on these key brands demonstrates their dedication to providing their devoted fan base with a consistent flow of excellent content.
