SEGA and Two Point Studios (a team made up of ex-Lionhead and Bullfrog developers) have now teased a new game announcement via a twitter post telling us to check back on January 16, 2018. SEGA Europe announced their partnership with Two Point Studios back in May 30, 2017 and it seems that they have been hard at work on this new title if its going to be shown in a less than two months.
According to Two Point Studios twitter bio, the team is “Making sim games with @SEGA_Europe” . It makes sense that SEGA would try their hands at the PC sim market considering that new IPs such as Cities XXL, Cities in Motion and Cities: Skylines have carved a big chunk of the market away from EA. Not only that, they are already heading that way by purchasing the Endless Space developers, Amplitude Studios. It does seem that if they make a sim game that it will be based on something like Theme Park or Theme Hospital. But who knows at this point. While these PC games are usually aimed at another market, as a SEGA fan I actually like the brand name to grow into other markets. Plus the team being made up of people that worked on games like Theme Hospital and Fable really peaks my interest.
Can’t wait!
Off topic: a few days ago it leaked the news or rather the rumor that Creative Assembly would be at work on a new IP.
In particular, and this makes the voice even more juicy, at least for me, the new game would be under development at the console team.
A further reason to begin to grow a little bit of the hype is that, always according to rumors, the title in question would be the largest multi-platform project of the studio.
Time will tell …
More sonic cancer, no thank you.
Anybody ever heard of Two Point Studios? They must be new.
