Sega has been silent for a while now. It has seen some of its major titles get a lot of love and recognition on other platforms, but it is not making any significant move to expand its titles or make any drastic releases. But with only a few games released like Sonic Frontiers, it looks like Sega is holding back something.

The fact that Sega’s last console, Dreamcast, was discontinued 21 years ago, but still the company continued to thrive in the industry says a lot about the arcade genius. But now with a special project, it seems that Sega might be returning in 2026 with something “Super”.

But with recent updates, it seems that they are not wasting their opportunity but instead are working on something “Super”. According to Sega CEO Haruki Satomi, “One strategy for generating such hit titles is the creation of a ‘Super Game’ – a large-scale global title. We’re currently developing such a game, targeting release by the fiscal year ending March 2026. The ultimate goal in the ‘Super Game’ strategy is to create a game so revolutionary that it attracts far more active users than any of the Group’s games to date.”

This means that Sega can be working on something that is Super Smash-inspired and might include characters from all its several IPs to make a game out of it. Although, it can also mean that they might be planning on doing something totally different and pulling off a game that has never been played before.

Will they be able to pull it off?

If the recent years of gaming are analyzed, it seems that Sega has been able to make some rather great games over the past few years. Although inactive in the console business, Sega has not let down its hands on making games.

Also over the years, Sega has been able to build a strong bond with Nintendo, it seems that it might help the company pull off some rather cool tricks in the upcoming years.
