"The plan is currently being formulated, but we expect the volume of new titles in Full Game to be lower than thಌis fiscal year," Sega said in a Q&A (via ).

Sonic Racing: ✨CrossWorlds Will Have 23 Characters At Launch, Fea💜tures Other Sega Games
There will be characters from other Sega games🦹 in CrossWorlds.
So far, we know that Sega plans to launch 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds, Project Century (168澳洲幸运5开奖网:the mysterious new RGG game), 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Shinobi: Art of Vengeance, and revivals of 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Virtua Fighter, 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Crazy Taxi, Jet Set Radio, Golden ♏💙Axe, and Streets of Rage next year.
Sonic And Like A Dragon Devs Are "Short Of Staff"
Duꦆring🍨 the Q&A, Sega also revealed that it plans to strengthen three of its core developers, Sonic Team, RGG, and Atlus, to help focus on the aforementioned franchises in fiscal year 2026.
"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]," Sega explained, though it didn't divulge any further details abo♛ut the possible M&As.
In the current꧂ fiscal year, Sega has already s🎀old 20 million units of new games, and 12 million units of legacy games.
It's not just gaming that Sega is enjoying success with, either. The recently released Soniౠc 3 movie became the second-highest-grossing video g𝓀ame adaptation in history last month, dethroning Warcraft and Detective Pikach🥃u. Fittingly, Sonic is now second only to Mario, bringing their decades-long rivalry to the silver screen. With sequels to both underway, it'll be interesting to see how things shake up in a cou🍨ple of years.
