Sega president Shuji Utsumi, who previously worked on the original PlayStation and was responsible for Disney and Square Enix joining forces for Kingdom Hearts, says he wants to be remembered for “Reviving Sega.”
2024 was undoubtedly Sega’s year. Launching the year with Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth and Persona 3 Reload, and capping it off with the game of the year nominated Metaphor: ReFantazio, it’s no wonder it was the best publisher of 2024 on Metacritic. And even outside of games, Sonic the Hedgehog 3 did extremely well in the cinema, becoming the second video game movie to ever be certified fresh on Rotten Tomatoes.
Speaking to The Game Business, Sega president and COO Shuji Utsumi was asked what he thought his greatest achievement was throughout his career, which has included the likes of the original PlayStation, Dreamcast classics, making Kingdom Hearts happen, and, most importantly, co-founding Q Entertainment, which led to Lumines existing. But for Utsumi, it was none of the above. “Now I’ve rejoined Sega and I’m working on reviving Sega… I want to say this is going to be my greatest achievement in my career.”
