At The Game Awards 2024, which took place at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles, SEGA of America (henceforth “SEGA”) made three exciting new announcements. Along with two new projects from Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio, a new racing game for the Sonic the Hedgehog franchise was revealed.
The racing game Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds, which features the well-known characters from the Sonic the Hedgehog™ universe, was unveiled during the show. With its unique racing mechanism, the game aims to take fans of Sonic racing to a new level.
Alongside a brand-new idea, Project Century, from Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio, the makers of the Like a Dragon™ franchise, the New VIRTUA FIGHTER Project was confirmed. Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii™, the most recent installment in the series, will be available on February 21, 2025.
Shuji Utsumi, President and COO of SEGA Corporation stated, “SEGA continues to dig into its treasure trove of IP to bring back what our fans have been asking for. This year we are proud to reveal Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds, a completely new project in the Virtua Fighter series, and a brand-new concept from RGG Studio that for now we’re calling Project Century. This is in addition to last year’s reveals of Crazy Taxi™, Jet Set Radio™, and more. We will continue to look for opportunities to add to our incredible publishing lineup in the future.”
With these impending releases, SEGA is expanding its already impressive library of titles, which includes Metaphor: ReFantazio, which received the following accolades at The Game Awards:
- Best Narrative
