SEGA president Shuji Utsumi has said in a recent interview that he wants to revive the SEGA spirit of the 80s and 90s, which is when the company was in top form with multiple successful IPs and a company which wasn’t afraid to take risks when it came to software. Speaking to The Game Business Mr. Utsumi said he wants SEGA to cover all bases going forward and have software for everyone. With the company looking to revive high-profile IPs from the past it seems like SEGA is heading in the right direction to achieve this.
“I’d really like to revive that Sega spirit. Sometime around 2000, even around the 1980s, we were regarded as a very cultural company. If you compare it to the music industry, I believe Sega brings rock and roll. In the arcade business, we really had a rock and roll mindset and trying to provide new stuff. So nowadays, we want Sega to always be trying something different, while respecting the old times.”
