Sega in its latest earnings report announced it has cancelled development on its Super Game as it moves away from live service games.
Sonic Rumble Party has underperformed and the 2023 acquisition of Angry Birds creator Rovio has been a disappointment as sales decline. Due to this Sega is lowering its priority of free-to-play titles.
Over 100 developers at Sega that were working on free-to-play games have been moved to full game development teams with a focus on "mainstay IPs."
Revivals on the Crazy Taxi, Jet Set Radio, Golden Axe, and Streets of Rage IPs are still in development.

The only "Super Game" I want is Sonic Adventure 3
But I'd also take a remaster/remake of 1 and 2
Good.
Yeah “Super” Game was definitely more of a marketing ploy than something that was gonna be the next evolution of gaming in general. Like I thought “Super” was more of a Nintendo thing, SEGA.
Just port Planet Harriers to modern consoles because those arcade machines are entirely lost. (for those who don't know SEGA made some arcade machines fragile as glass, literally and it's not the easiest to emulate either)
