Sega's Bold Gamble: RGG Studio's Multi-Project Approach and the Birth of New IPs

Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio (RGG Studio) is juggling multiple large-scale projects simultaneously, a feat attributed to Sega's willingness to embrace risk and innovation. This article delves into the studio's ambitious undertaking and the upcoming titles that demonstrate Sega's unique approach to game development.

Sega's Risk-Taking Culture Fuels RGG Studio's Success

RGG Studio, the powerhouse behind the Like a Dragon series, has several projects in the works, including a brand-new IP. Despite already having the next Like a Dragon installment and a Virtua Fighter remake slated for 2025, they've added two more titles to their impressive roster. Studio head and director Masayoshi Yokoyama credits Sega's proactive risk-taking as the catalyst for these opportunities.

In a surprising move, RGG unveiled trailers for two distinct projects in the same week earlier this December. Project Century, a new IP set in 1915 Japan, debuted at The Game Awards 2025, followed by a trailer for a new Virtua Fighter project (separate from the upcoming Virtua Fighter 5 R.E.V.O remaster) on Sega's official channel. The scale of these projects underscores RGG Studio's ambition and Sega's unwavering confidence in their ability to deliver. This reflects a relationship built on trust and a shared commitment to pushing boundaries.

Embracing Failure: A Cornerstone of Sega's Philosophy

Yokoyama highlights Sega's acceptance of potential failure as a key factor in their success. He emphasizes that Sega doesn't solely focus on safe bets, a philosophy that seems ingrained in the company's DNA. He points to the evolution of the Virtua Fighter franchise as an example. After their early work with Virtua Fighter, Sega sought to explore new avenues, leading to the innovative "what if we made 'VF' into an RPG?" concept, which ultimately birthed the Shenmue series.

Quality Assurance: A Commitment to Excellence

RGG Studio assures fans that the simultaneous development of these projects won't compromise quality, especially concerning the Virtua Fighter franchise. Original Virtua Fighter creator Yu Suzuki has expressed his support for the new project, and Yokoyama, along with Virtua Fighter Project producer Riichiro Yamada, and their team are committed to avoiding a subpar product. Yamada promises an innovative experience that will appeal to both longtime fans and newcomers alike. Yokoyama expresses his excitement for both upcoming titles.
