Scrawl: "The Creative Assembly, known for their work on Stormrise and Shogun 2: Total War, has announced today that it’s developing a “major new console title” under the publishing of Sega."
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.
wtb Major new PC title amirite?
I hope it's as good as Spartan: Total Warrior!
Awesome!
I wonder why they're keeping the genre a secret. Perhaps it'll be something different than what they usually create?
Known for Shogun Total War 2 and Stormrise? I don't think so...how about Shogun Total War, Medieval Total War, Rome Total War, Medieval II Total War, Napoleon Total War, Empire Total War...????
Creative Assembly is the best cross-genre dev house in the world. Their hybrid turn-based overworld / RTS style is so perfectly honed that it's almost a given that every one of their games is going to be high quality. At least on PC, that is.
