Now, in a presentation shared at a recent management meeting, Sega has shared some more new details about the game- chief among them being its name. Key art shared for the game (which you can view below) shows series protagonist Axel Stone looking on at the skyline of a metropolis (presumably Wood Oak City), while the logo displayed on the artwork confirms that the game is officially titled Streets of Rage Revolution.

Sega says the game will see players “take control of one of the ex-officers and make the city a place where people no longer have to walk the Streets of Rage.”

Meanwhile, the company has also confirmed that the Jet Set Radio reboot will be open world, and revealed brief, new details on the Crazy Taxi, Shinobi, and Golden Axe reboots.

“In recent years, Sonic the Hedgehog has forged new paths for Sega, bringing the franchise to life and reaching new audiences in ways we had only dreamed of in the past,” said Co-COO of Sega Corporation and CEO of Sega of America Shuji Utsumi. “Building off that success, we are digging into our legacy and reimagining several franchises to bring these games to more audiences around the globe.”

Utsumi’s statement goes on to talk about how this is only the beginning for Sega.

“Today’s announcement is just the start of our initiative. First and foremost, our ambition will be to create great games with memorable characters and worlds. We hope fans of all ages will look towards our future with anticipation as we release these projects in the coming years.”

During its announcement at The Game Awards 2023, Sega confirmed that new games in the Jet Set Radio and Crazy Taxi are in development. The studio also announced new games for even older franchises, including Shinobi, Streets of Rage, and Golden Axe.

Sega recently released Sonic Superstars, which it had described as a new take on the classic 2D Sonic formula. Released back in October, Sonic Superstars has seemingly seen a weaker start than Sega had anticipated. Previously, the company had released Sonic Frontiers, which was quite successful and saw a host of content being released through post-launch updates.

Kingdom Hearts 3: ReMind

As a series, Kingdom Hearts has its fair share of cryptic secret endings that required an extraordinary amount of effort to unlock. Kingdom Hearts 3’s Remind DLC is no different – in order to unlock the Secret Episode and receive the “true” ending, you first had to defeat all 13 bosses in the Limit Cut. That means being level 99 with the best equipment and dealing with high damage unblockable attacks. Once that’s done, you face Yozora from Verum Rex in a much tougher fight than anything before. Depending on whether you win or lose, the ending will be slightly different but the scene with Yozora, waking from a dream while in a vehicle is a dead ringer for Final Fantasy Versus 13. How? Why? No one but Nomura can answer that question.

The Sega Mega Drive collection was announced more than a month ago, and it is now finally out for the PC, PS4, and Xbox One. A new launch video has also been released to celebrate the launch of this collection of games.

This collection will feature classic titles such as Sonic the Hedgehog, Streets of Rage, and more with some updates. PC gamers who own Sega Mega Driver & Genesis Classics on Steam will automatically receive these new updates. The updates include things like rewind, online multiplayer, leaderboard, save states, and more. You will also be able to adjust graphical filters on these games and there will also be support for VR, Mac, and Linux. The total list of games includes over 50 classics, so if you were a fan of Sega’s old games, then you’ll definitely want to pick this up.

You can check out the launch trailer for the collection below.

However, there are some boss fights which rely on tough nuts and cookies to crack as often as they do mobs that endlessly spawn. Are they annoying? That depends on you but there are a good number of battles on here that could be irksome if you didn’t dispose of those endless minions during the fight.

Skolas (pre-nerf) – Destiny: House of Wolves

Before he was nerfed, Skolas was one of the single most frustrating bosses to face in Destiny. Not only was a level higher, thus increasing the damage he dealt while decreasing your own damage, but he had a near endless supply of minions around him at a time. The mechanics of the fight were also extremely stressful with mines, the devouring essence and, oh yeah, Solar Burn and Arc Burn modifiers. A patch would make Skolas much more manageable along with having enemies appear at fixed intervals.

It seems that new versions of both games were being pitched to Sega at some point – as concept art created by the original trio behind Streets of Rage, namely Axel Stone, Blaze Fielding and Adam Hunter was posted online by a former artist for Backbone Entertainment. Check them out below.

But that’s not all: There was concept art for rebooting ESWAT entirely. And it doesn’t look half bad.

Of course, these never went anywhere. As it is, Sega is an entirely different beast today, publishing the works of studios more than investing in its own development. What could have been though, remains just another post in history.
