A new rumour says Sega is remastering cult classic Skies Of Arcadia, but doesn’t specify for which platforms.
In 2021, Sega mentioned wanting to bring back dormant IPs but, since then, it hasn’t really followed through with those plans, aside from a new Samba De Amigo that was announced for Nintendo Switch last month.
There were reports last year of big budget reboots for Crazy Taxi and Jet Set Radio but aside from them being namedropped in a recent survey, Sega hasn’t acknowledged either project.
Now, there’s chatter of the company reviving its cult classic role-player Skies Of Arcadia with a new remaster.
Skies Of Arcadia originally launched as a Sega Dreamcast exclusive in 2001 and is widely considered to be one of the console’s best games.
Unfortunately, it underperformed commercially and didn’t appear to do that much better when it was ported to the Nintendo GameCube in 2003.
Although Sega didn’t mention Skies Of Arcadia in its 2021 list of dormant IPs it was considering reviving, XboxEra’s Nick ‘Shpeshal’ Baker claims that it is getting the remaster treatment.
He even goes so far as to say, ‘If this thing doesn’t come out, it’s because Sega chose not to [sic] cause I’ve seen screenshots, so I know it exists.’ You can hear his comments from the 2:02:24 mark in the video below.

Rumour is 5 days old but didn't see a thread on here about this. Walk me off the plank if news is old.
This ain't April Fools by the way, just since this is now a SEGA board, thought people would wanna know if they didn't already.
