Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth and Persona 3 Reload have been successes for Sega, and Sonic x Shadow Generations is coming later this year.
Lest you’d think there’s any intention to slow down on any in the coming years, leaker Midori has reported that the current plan is to make them “annual franchises through new titles, remakes and remasters, DLC expansions and other media.” When another user called them Sega’s “Big 3”, she replied, “This is correct information.
Like a Dragon, Persona andSonic are called the Main Pillar Brands at Sega.” She also clarified that it was Persona and not Shin Megami Tensei in a broader sense.
However, “There are plans to expand the Shin Megami Tensei brand, and Sega is confident in the upcoming Shin Megami Tensei 5: Vengeance.” Each IP will reportedly receive new content yearly, with “other media” referring to crossovers and collaborations with other titles.
There are even “early plans” for collaborations in upcoming titles like the Crazy Taxi reboot, allegedly a live-service/games-as-a-service title launching in 2027.
