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 Axe, Streets of Rage and Crazy Taxi. However, these would not be the only ones with a new title on the way, since The Japanese company could well be working on a new game Evangelion.
According to Insider Gaming, in addition to the five games already confirmed, SEGA would also be working on bringing back five other iconic series from the company. Although two remain a mystery, It has been mentioned that the other three are Panzer Dragoon, Neon Genesis Evangelion and Sakura Taisen, which are already in the initial stage of their production. It is important to clarify that at the moment there is no official information.
Along with this, let us remember that on December 6, a series of records made by SEGA were releasedand here we find the following names:
- Alex Kidd
- After Burner
- House of the Dead
- Outrun
- Super Monkey Ball
- Altered Beast Eternal
- Champions Kid
- Chameleon
While it is true that on this list we do not find the names that Insider Gaming has provided, there is also no mention of the five titles that we already know are on the way. Thus, The possibility that the other two titles that remain a mystery are part of these records is not ruled out.
Let us remember that the Panzer Dragoon series began in 1995 on the SEGA Saturn, and had two sequels. One of these continued in a rail shooter style, similar to what we saw with Star Fox and Star Fox 64while Panzer Dragoon Sagathe third installment, not only took up elements of its predecessors, but was also an RPGone that achieved cult status.
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.. This is a franchise that combines elements of a tactical RPG, with a graphic novel and a dating sim. Unlike 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 during the 90s. Although these games did not reach us in the West, In Japan, several titles of this anime were available on the console that we saw between the Genesis and the Dreamcast. In this way, the possibility of seeing a remake of classic titles is not ruled out, such as Neon Genesis Evangelion: 2nd Impression. We can only wait to find out SEGA's plans with its classic series. On related topics, the Japanese company provides more information about the return of these titles. Likewise, a portable version of the Genesis is revealed.
Editor's Note:
Of these three, the series I most want to see return is Panzer Dragoon. Although it is very likely that SEGA will choose to revive this franchise with a rail shooter, similar to the first two installments, I would like to see an RPG similar to Saga, or even a remake of this title. I just hope the other two are Phantasy Star and Gunstar Heroes.
