Sega will announce a new project through a Livestream on June 3

A Sega shock stream has been declared with an “urgent notice” morning from the company’s Japanese Twitter account, and there are a few hints as to what it could deal with. Sega has plans to announce a new project through a Livestream. The Livestream will be held on June 3, 2022, at 8 pm JST/4 am PT/7 am ET/1 pm CEST. Viewers can watch the announcement of the new Sega project on NicoNico, YouTube, and Twitter Periscope.

“While you may feel a sense of deja vu with the lineup of presenters, please look forward to the announcement,” SEGA teased.

Interestingly, the announcement was made with what appears to be the image representing a chocolate-covered Sega Genesis controller and Miyazaki-san was project lead on the Sega Genesis Mini, while Okunari-san worked as contents lead on the micro-console.

Debuting on June 3 at 20:00 JST (7 AM ET), the live broadcast will feature Hiroyuki Miyazaki and Yosuke Okunari. Respectively, they have worked on many franchises at Sega in the past, including Puyo Puyo/Phantasy Star Online 2/Sonic/NiGHTs, and Jet Set Radio/3DS Sega Classics/Panzer Dragoon. Now I wouldn’t expect any of those franchises to make a glorious comeback on a random June 3 stream, but those are their credentials nonetheless.

We likewise have a little expected hint with the Twitter teaser image, which involves a Sega Mega Drive/Genesis controller in the shape of a dessert, with frosting as the d-pad and buttons. When the Sega surprise stream debuts, you can watch it below.

Is it the “Super Game” project? I hope not! In all likelihood, it’ll be some sort of re-release again, as Sega will in general make big deals out of it. Yet, perhaps, quite possibly, we could get some similarity to E3 hype with this stream. Remember the days when studios could announce big games anytime around June?

Executive Producer at Sega Hiroyuki Miyazaki and Creative Producer at Sega Yosuke Okunari will show up during the program. Miyazaki has worked on several Sonic-related projects, which have included Sonic and the Black Knight and Sonic Unleashed. Okunari’s credits include work on several titles from the Sega Ages collection and Sonic Adventure.

There is no clue concerning what might be uncovered during the project for sure it might be related with. The only currently available information is that this is a new project that Sega will project through the scheduled Livestream. It will be available in Japanese.

This isn’t whenever Sega first has announced a title through a Livestream. Sun Chronicle, a mobile exclusive title, was one such title. It was uncovered through the Sega Tokyo Game Show 2021 Livestream, which included data about the game, along with its unique story-focused gameplay systems.

The Sega Livestream where the new project will be announced will be held on June 3, 2022.
