RGG Studio's ability to juggle multiple large-scale projects simultaneously is a testament to Sega's risk-taking approach to game development. This willingness to venture beyond safe bets has enabled the studio to pursue ambitious new IPs and innovative reinterpretations of existing franchises.
Sega Embraces Risk, Fostering Innovation
RGG Studio, currently developing a new IP alongside the next Like a Dragon installment and a Virtua Fighter remake (slated for 2025), recently unveiled two additional projects: Project Century (set in 1915 Japan) and a new Virtua Fighter project (distinct from the Virtua Fighter 5 R.E.V.O. remaster). This ambitious undertaking is made possible by Sega's culture of risk-taking, as highlighted by studio head and director Masayoshi Yokoyama.
Yokoyama credits Sega's acceptance of potential failure as a key factor. He notes that Sega's history, including the evolution from the Virtua Fighter IP to the RPG-infused Shenmue series, demonstrates a consistent drive for innovation. This willingness to experiment is ingrained in Sega's DNA, he suggests.
Quality Assurance Remains Paramount
RGG Studio assures fans that the simultaneous development of these projects won't compromise quality. The team, including Virtua Fighter creator Yu Suzuki, is committed to delivering high-quality experiences, particularly for the Virtua Fighter franchise. Producer Riichiro Yamada emphasizes the goal of creating an innovative Virtua Fighter experience that appeals to a broad audience, both existing fans and newcomers alike.
Yamada promises an innovative and engaging experience, while Yokoyama expresses his excitement for both upcoming titles. The studio's dedication to quality, coupled with Sega's support for ambitious projects, promises an exciting future for RGG Studio and its fans.
