L’article Skies of Arcadia : Sega redépose la marque du JRPG culte de la Dreamcast est apparu en premier sur KultureGeek.

The Sonic series has had its ups and downs over the past many years, but the Blue Blur seems to be on a bit of a hot streak at the moment; having recently released the remaster/expansion Sonic x Shadow Generations to immediate sales success. Since its arrival in October 2024, the game has continued to sell well – now surpassing 2 million total copies.

As reported by the publication Gematsu, SEGA has now confirmed that Sonic x Shadow Generations has officially sold over 2 million copies since its launch back in late October.

For content, the game was reported to have surpassed 1 million total sales within the first 24 hours. This figure was then updated to 1.5 million within its first month on the market, meaning Sonic x Shadow Generations’ sales did indeed see a significant drop in the time since.

Even so, the game’s success is notable, especially as it was primarily a remaster of a game from 2011 (which had already sold over 6 million copies).

With it now abundantly clear that there is great fan interest in SEGA bringing back Sonic’s older adventures to modern systems, hopefully we see the likes of Unleashed, Heroes and more be remastered in the not-too-distant future.

SEGA’s been on a bit of a hot streak in recent years, with the publisher releasing a ton of critically acclaimed and strong-performing titles including but not limited to Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth, Metaphor: ReFantazio and even Sonic x Shadow Generations. Wanting to capitalise on its ongoing success, the publisher has now unveiled its new ‘SEGA Account’ initiative.

Available to sign up for right now, the publisher's new account system will offer “a profile that lets you maximize SEGA's online services and offers a ton of benefits,” adding that “anyone can sign up, and it's free to use!”

As of right now, account holders can “take part in promotions with incredible rewards!” however SEGA also promised that in the future you’ll also be able to view your stats and records across the publisher’s various titles.

Currently, those who sign up for an account can – between now and the 7th of March  – redeem the ‘Kazuma Kiryu Special Outfit DLC’ to be used in their upcoming title: Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii.

This isn’t the first time that SEGA has given away such in-game items, with many past Sonic titles offering some freebies for signing up to their newsletter.

That said, this seems to be a much more intuitive way to reward fans of the publisher. Hopefully the service improves with time.
