During the last The Game Awards ceremony, SEGA announced that they are already working on five games focused on bringing back some of their classic series. These are Jet Set Radio, Shinobi, Golden Ax, Streets of Rage and Crazy Taxi. However, since this path will not be the only ones with a new title The Japanese company may well be working on a new game Evangelion.
According to Insider Gaming, in addition to the five games already confirmed, SEGA will be working on bringing back five more iconic series from the company. Although two mysteries remain, It is noted that the other three are Panzer Dragon, Neon Genesis Evangelion, and Sakura Taisen, which are already in their early stages of production. It is important to clarify that there is no official information at the moment.
Remember that on December 6 Dr. A series of records produced by SEGA was releasedAnd here we find the following names:
- Alex Kidd
- After burner
- House of the Dead
- surpass
- Super Monkey Ball
- Altered Beast Eternal
- Champion’s Kid
- the chameleon
While it’s true that we can’t find the names that Insider Gaming gave us on this list, there’s no mention of the five titles we already know are on the way. Thus, Two other titles that remain a mystery cannot be ruled out as part of this record.
Let us remember that the Panzer Dragon series started in 1995 on the SEGA Saturn and had two sequels. One of these continues in the style of a rail shooter, which we have seen Star Fox y Star Fox 64when Panzer Dragon SagaThe third installment, not only adopted the elements of its predecessors, but was also an RPGOne that has attained the status of religion.
For its part, Sakura Taisen is a series that also started on the SEGA Saturn, but reached a decent level of popularity during the Dreamcast era.. It is a franchise that combines elements of a strategy RPG, a graphic novel, and a dating sim. Unlike the other franchises on this list, its latest installment, Shin Sakura Wars, hit the market in 2019.
Last but not least, Evangelion had a strong presence on the SEGA Saturn in the 90s. Although these games never made it to us in the West, In Japan, several of these anime titles were available on consoles that we saw between the Genesis and Dreamcast. Thus, the possibility of seeing remakes of classic titles cannot be ruled out, e.g Neon Genesis Evangelion: 2nd Impression. We can only wait to find out what SEGA’s plans are for the classic series. On a related note, the Japanese company provides more information about this title return. Similarly, a portable version of Genesis was published.
Editor’s note:
Out of these three, the series I want to watch the most is Panzer Dragoon. While it’s highly likely that SEGA will choose to revive this franchise with a rail shooter, like the first two installments, I’d love to see an RPG similar to Saga, or even a remake of this title. I hope the other two are Fantasy Star and Gunstar Heroes.
