Following an earnings slip, SEGA is gearing up to refocus on its existing IP like Persona, Sonic, and Yakuza and avoid developing too many new ones.
As reported by Tweaktown, SEGA’s fiscal year 2018 earnings saw profits drop 70% to $23 million and its “road to 2020 roadmap of games earnings has fallen apart due to market miscalculations, too many games in development, lack of sales performance, and game delays.”
In response, SEGA will focus on the previously mentioned IP and may also throw in “a remaster/re-release or two and potentially bring over more of its “key franchises and games overseas.””
