SEGA’s plans for its financial year 2025 have been outlined in its latest earnings call, and in a nutshell, the publisher is planning fewer game releases and investment in its core studios.
When asked about its plans for FY25, which for SEGA is April 2025 to March 2026, SEGA revealed it will be launching a smaller number of titles overall.
Currently, the publisher has announced Shinobi: Art of Vengeance and Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds for 2025, as well as Project Century, which currently has no date. New games in the Virtua Fighter, Crazy Taxi, Golden Axe, Jet Set Radio, and Streets of Rage series are also in the works, though little is known about them so far.
SEGA has said it will be making further investments and hiring more staff in Atlus, Sonic Team, and RGG Studio, makers of Persona, Sonic, and Like a Dragon respectively.
“Atlus is an important studio for us to expand Japanese IPs overseas and we think it is necessary to strengthen it, and the studios involved in the Sonic and Like a Dragon IPs are also short of staff, and we are looking to reinforce personnel through additional hiring and [mergers and acquisitions],” the publisher said.
So, it’s set to be a quieter year for SEGA as it hunkers down and bolsters its key studios. The company’s president has previously said it’s been contemplating a subscription service of some kind, so it’ll be interesting to see if that comes to fruition as well.
