Unity's found itself under fire from the public these past few months—and for decent reasons. In June, for instance, it announced that it would incorporate AI programs into its developer tools, something it didn't really elaborate well enough on to soothe artists and developer fears alike.
Sega says development of its first ‘Super Game’ is progressing steadily
01.11.2023 - 17:59 / videogameschronicle.com / Shuji Utsumi / Of Its
Sega has said development of its first “Super Game” is progressing steadily.
Announced in May 2021, the Japanese publisher’s Super Game project will span multiple “triple-A titles that cross over Sega’s comprehensive range of technologies” and “go beyond the traditional framework of games”, according to the company’s co-chief operating officer, Shuji Utsumi.
Sega provided an update on the first game in the project, which remains scheduled for release in the next few years, in its annual integrated report, which was published on Wednesday.
“The Entertainment Contents Business has set a long-term goal of becoming a leading global content provider,” said Sega president Yukio Sugino.
“To achieve this goal and elevate the business to the next level, we are conducting R&D activities to create a ‘Super Game,’ a major title that scales globally, by the fiscal year ending March 2026.”
Utsumi also commented: “We are also making steady headway in development of the ‘Super Game’ that we are seeking to create in the medium to long term. As the name implies, a ‘Super Game’ involves the concept of a game that stands head and shoulders above normal games.
“I encourage stakeholders to look forward to the fruit of our efforts, which include R&D to create a game that builds a whole worldview involving the entire gaming ecosystem, including not only players but also streamers who stream the game and their viewers”.
In November 2021, Sega said it would consider investing up to ¥100 billion (then $882 million) over the next five years to achieve its Super Game ambitions.
The company announced last month that it was cancelling Creative Assembly‘s Hyenas and “some unannounced titles” in development.
Live service multiplayer shooter Hyenas, which had been scheduled for release this year, was reportedly Sega’s biggest budget game ever before the company pulled the plug.

Baldur’s Gate 3 Picks Up its First Big GOTY of 2023 with a Win at the Golden Joystick Awards
2023 may not quite be done yet, but the game-of-the-year conversation is already beginning to heat up. Case in point, the Golden Joystick Awards, one of the longest-running video game awards shows with winners being voted on by the UK public, has announced their winners. The big winner was Baldur’s Gate 3, which walked away with “Ultimate Game of the Year” and six other awards. The rest of the winner’s field was quite divided, with only two other games, Final Fantasy XVI and Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty, receiving more than one award. Some games that seemed to be frontrunners earlier in the year, like The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom and the Resident Evil 4 remake, only received a single trophy.
