Although the global audience might think Sega is the sole developer and publisher of Phantasy Star Online 2 in Japan, Asiansoft has published this online video game in their servers in six other countries. However, Asiansoft has provided a report stating that the company has continued to experience a decline in online gaming revenue from domestic and overseas market. Additionally, Sega (who has not mentioned anything in two years) will not disclose any further news about this title at Pax Prime this year as well. As a result, North American and European supporters are losing hope for this production.
SEGA has announced Fearless: Year of Shadow, a campaign that celebrates Sonic the Hedgehog and his brooding acquaintance, Shadow.
GamesIndustry.biz writes: "Relic is best known for the Company of Heroes and Dawn of War games, and recently developed the new Age of Empires for Microsoft. Relic will transition to an independent studio and will no-longer be part of the Sega group of studios.
The majority of the 240 job cuts are across Creative Assembly and Sega Europe, while there will be a ‘small number’ cut from Sega HARDLight. There was no mention of other Sega UK studios, including Two Point Studios and Sports Interactive."
Shame about Creative Assembly, they should have just been allowed to do an Alien Isolation sequel.
It was that garbage coh 3 that did them in only a special team can make a sequel worse in every way even though it was a 10 year gap and the same era.
Two Point Studios and Sports Interactive probably run on a shoe string budget so that fits into SEGA better lol
Sega had such a turbulent existence from the mid-90s to when they dropped out of console manufacturing entirely in 2001, it’s understandable if you’ve never heard of the Genesis Nomad.
They can try to expand to the other parts of the world, I'm sure they'll pay enough to cover this loss.
