Sega's Revival: From Dreamcast Era to Sonic's Success
Sega has announced new entries in classic series such as Crazy Taxi, Jet Set Radio, Golden Axe, Shinobi, and Streets of Rage, signaling a return to the rebellious energy of the Dreamcast era. Sega of America CEO Shuji Utsumi aims to recapture that spirit for a modern audience, believing that Sega's weirder concepts may find a more receptive audience now. The company's focus on long-running franchises like Sonic, Yakuza/Like a Dragon, and Persona has limited its experimentation, but this recent announcement suggests a willingness to branch out and explore new ideas. Fans hope to see surprising new concepts that channel the energy of the Dreamcast era.
