Sega’s “Mainstay IPs” New Titles Aren’t a Mystery

VGC’s Bluesky post: Sega says it plans to release "four major new titles for mainstay IPs" by the end of March 2027. https://www.videogameschronicle.com/news/sega-plans-to-release-four-major-new-titles-for-mainstay-ips-by-the-end-of-march-2027/
Excerpt from the VCG article: According to Sega, the company plans “to release four major new titles for mainstay IPs”. […] While Sega didn’t give any further information on which series it’s referring to, the term “major new titles for mainstay IPs” suggests it will likely be releasing a high-budget Sonic game during this period.

VGC didn’t seem to read through the Sega Sammy Q3 presentation deck before filing the story (images below)? Sega listed all major upcoming titles in the deck, twice (images below). I’ll let people decide which four constitute “mainstay IPs”. There’s no Sonic game among them.

Screenshot of the Sega Q3 presentation: Upcoming Plans (Release Date TBD) Persona 4 Revival Crazy Taxi (Title TBD) STRANGER THAN HEAVEN Golden Axe (Title TBD) Total War: WARHAMMER 40,000 Jet Set Radio (Title TBD) Total War: Medieval III Streets of Rage (Title TBD) New VIRTUA FIGHTER Project (Title TBD) ALIEN: ISOLATION (Title TBD)
