Summary
Segahas a new franchise crossover game in development, and it will be an Apple Arcade exclusive, a reputable leaker has said. This information comes from Midori, who has had an accurate track record regarding the developments ofSegatitles. Sega has started a new initiative to develop titles exclusively for these platforms. This can be seen with the acquisition ofAngry Birdsdeveloper Rovio late last year, as well as new mobile games such asSonic Dream TeamandPuyo Puyo Puzzle Pop. Midori also says Sega is working on a mobile exclusive crossover game.
While its franchises aren’t as big as Nintendo or Capcom, Sega has dabbled in making crossover games, all under theSega All-Starsseries name. The first game,Sega Superstars, was a party game exclusive to the PS2 that featured prominent Sega franchises likeSonic the Hedgehog,Super Monkey Ball,Samba de Amigo, andVirtua Fighter, among others. The series would also get one tennis and two racing spin-off titles, with the last title being2012’sSonic and All-Stars Racing Transformed. Midori says the crossover series is coming back with a new title in 2024.
This information was posted on Midori’s Twitter account, where she discusses the recently revealedPuyo Puyo Puzzle Pop, a game she had leaked back in January, saying its development began over a year ago. She then discussed the new Sega titles that are in development, clarifying that it will be a newSega All-Starsgame specifically. She also mentions its developer, Hardlight, who was a developer on severalSonicmobile spin-off gamesin the past, including the aforementionedSonic Dream Team,Sonic Forces: Speed Battle, and more.
Leaked Sega All-Stars Game Details
When asked for more information about the game, such as its premise, Midori clarifies that it will be tennis-focused. These claims match up with a lot of previous information that Midori had provided earlier in February. Midori claimed thata newSonicSports-themed Apple Arcade exclusive title was in development, alongside a Chao Garden focused andFall Guys-inspired mobile spin-off.
While some fans were happy to hear that a new Sega All-Stars game is possibly in development, others lamented how Sega was leaning into this initiative and that many classic Sega franchises are releasing theApple Arcade subscription serviceinstead of mainline consoles, with many gamers expressing they have no interest in paying for Apple Arcade to play these upcoming games. That said, despite Midori’s incredibly accurate track record in the past, fans should take this leak with a grain of salt until Sega provides more information regarding this possible Sega tennis crossover spin-off.
