Sega Is Delisting Many Of Its Classic Games In December
Sega announced that it will be delisting many of its classic games on December 6 at 11:59 PM PST / December 7 2:59 AM ET. The list of games leaving digital stores includes Jet Set Radio, Golden Axe, and Phantasy Star II among many others
Those who’ve already purchased them will be able to continue playing them, and some individual titles will still be available for those subscribed to Nintendo Switch Online. Sega didn’t provide any particular reason for the delistings, or specify which individual titles that Nintendo Switch Online subscribers would still have access to after the delistings.
Sega is currently working on new entries to five of its classic franchises, which include Jet Set Radio, Shinobi, Golden Axe, Streets of Rage, and Crazy Taxi. Not much is known about them so far, but Sega confirmed earlier this year that the new Crazy Taxi will feature an open world and contains some multiplayer elements. Sega also just revealed that it is developing a new Virtua Fighter game.
