SEGA; you know that in addition to its own games, it is also a global distributor of games from different developers. Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio and Atlus, one of the studios in this group, have been attracting attention with their games that have opened up to western markets in recent years. It is clear that the Yakuza and Persona series have performed well around the world.

This success seems to have also influenced SEGA’s policies for the coming period. Shuji Utsumi, a prominent SEGA figure, said in an interview with Famitsu that Yakuza: Like a Dragon is the most successful game in the series, adding that one of the reasons is that the game is available worldwide and comes to all platforms at the same time.

His explanation of whether he has such plans for the Persona series is also promising. Utsumi said that they want atlus games to be spread around the world, and that the option to debut on multiple platforms simultaneously and all over the world is also being evaluated for Horse games.

Long story short, in the future we will not have to play Yakuza, Persona, Megami Tensei games months or years from now from the Asian markets, what more 🙂
