After the release of Yakuza Kiwami 3 and Dark Ties, a remake of the original game that we found quite enjoyable, earlier this month, Sega is apparently gearing up to bring more of its best IPs to its players over the course of FY2026.
The news comes from its Q3 2025 financial report, in which the company has outlined plans to release ” four major new titles for mainstay IPs” before March 31st, 2027. Details about these new releases haven’t been disclosed yet, although it isn’t too much of a challenge to take educated guesses about what they may be.
For starters, we cannot rule out the possibility of a new mainline Sonic game making its way to your screens, considering how the company is also committed to expanding its transmedia presence in the same time frame. The character’s immense popularity would make him a perfect catalyst for that expansion, after all.
However, Sonic isn’t the only ace up Sega’s sleeve, and we already know that there are confirmed projects related to Alien Isolation, Virtua Fighter, Crazy Taxi, Jet Set Radio, and Streets of Rage already in the works. Could any of these titles fall under the “mainstay IPs”? We cannot rule out the possibility. There’s also Stranger Than Heaven, RGG Studio’s new IP, and Persona 4 Revival, Atlus’s long-awaited remake of the classic.
Regardless, there is a lot to look forward to from Sega if its ambitions go according to plan this year.
