Sega spent September 2026 at Tokyo Game Show presenting a slate that spans its own studios, partner studios, and outside developers. The booth carried playable demos of Persona 4 Revival, STRANGER THAN HEAVEN, Total War: Warhammer 40,000, Sonic Racing CrossWorlds, and Crazy Taxi: World Tour, and the show also brought the first footage of Lollipop Chainsaw 2 Back2Back. Physical and digital releases filled the same weeks: the Switch 2 physical edition of Sonic Frontiers Ultra Deluxe shipped September 17, Two Point Hospital: Heartfelt Collection went digital September 16, and maimai DX MAGiCAL updated the arcade music game the same day.
Dated commitments now stretch into 2027. Football Manager 27 launches November 11, 2026 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, PC via Steam, Epic Games Store and Windows, Mac, and Netflix, with a physical version on November 20. STRANGER THAN HEAVEN arrives January 15, 2027 on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC, and its TGS livestream showed both the opening sequence and a music production system called Showbiz. Crazy Taxi: World Tour and Total War: Warhammer 40,000 are both set for 2027. Sega's Steam page for Crazy Taxi: World Tour states the company uses generative AI as a development support tool and that such tools were used on that game.
Beyond games, Sega opened the owned media site SEGAWAY on September 15 and renewed SEGA TECH BLOG, and it announced a three-project adaptation partnership with Netflix covering a live-action Crazy Taxi comedy film, an animated Sonic children's series, and a live-action film based on STRANGER THAN HEAVEN. The Sonic the Hedgehog series reached its 35th anniversary in 2026 with no new game announced at the show; producer Takashi Iizuka attributed the absence to three-to-five-year development cycles and pointed to Sonic Racing CrossWorlds and SONIC PICO PARK at the booth.
Merchandise and arcade operations continue in parallel. Sega Fave dated the BLOFFFu plush line for October 16, added Nagisa (Swimsuit) to XStellar, and rolled out Bayside Shakedown N.E.W. prize items on the film's opening day. Sega also announced a Balenciaga collection, with Japan advance sales starting September 15 and a worldwide rollout September 22.
