Sega Confirms New Streets of Rage, Jet Set Radio, Golden Axe
Sega has not dropped its plan to revive its classic franchises. In the presentation for its Q2 results for the fiscal year ending March 2027, parent company Sega Sammy still lists new Streets of Rage, Jet Set Radio and Golden Axe games under upcoming titles, according to Insider Gaming. There are no names, dates or platforms yet, but the listing shows the projects are still alive.
Quick summary
- New Streets of Rage, Jet Set Radio and Golden Axe games remain on Sega's upcoming list, all marked "Title / Release Date TBD."
- Sega first announced these plans in February.
- Crazy Taxi: World Tour is listed for 2027, and Insider Gaming reports it is an open-world multiplayer game.
- A Streets of Rage film is in development and is listed as an animated title.
- Nothing here is a release date. Treat anything beyond the earnings slide as unannounced.
Why does this matter for fans?
The gaps are long. Jet Set Radio has had no new game since Jet Set Radio Future on the original Xbox. Streets of Rage 4 came from Dotemu in 2020, and Golden Axe has had no new game since Beast Rider in 2008, per Insider Gaming. Seeing all three still on the slide after the February announcement is the first sign in months that the plans have not been shelved.
What else is on Sega's upcoming slate?
The earnings presentation lists a mix of new titles. Here are the entries visible in the slide, with the timing Sega gives:
| Game | Timing on Sega's slide |
|---|---|
| Football Manager 27 | November 10, 2026 |
| Stranger Than Heaven | January 15, 2027 |
| Crazy Taxi: World Tour | 2027 |
| Virtua Fighter CrossRoads | 2027 |
| Total War: Warhammer 40,000 | 2027 |
| Persona 6 | Release date TBD |
| Total War: Medieval III | Release date TBD |
| Alien: Isolation 2 | Release date TBD |
| Golden Axe, Streets of Rage, Jet Set Radio | Title and date TBD |
The same slide also carries Metaphor: ReFantazio with a November 12, 2026 date and a footnote, which we could not fully read from the extract, so check Sega's own page for which platform that date applies to.
Is there a Streets of Rage movie?
Yes. Insider Gaming says a film adaptation is in development and that the earnings report lists it as an animated title. Sega has been pushing its brands onto screens more broadly: a fourth Sonic movie is set for early 2027, and a Golden Axe comedy series has already appeared on Paramount Plus, where it drew mixed reactions for its metahumor, per the same report. Insider Gaming also reports a live-action Stranger Than Heaven adaptation is planned at Netflix.
What should you expect next?
Do not expect a reveal tomorrow. The slide only confirms the games are in development, and Sega has not named developers for the three revivals. Past practice suggests announcements tend to come at showcase events or in the next earnings update, but that is an assumption, not something Sega has said. Meanwhile, you can follow upcoming launches on our release calendar, and see how the wider industry money is moving in our report on the Unity takeover talks.
