Now Playing: HYENAS – Official Gameplay Trailer
During the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic, Sega tried to accelerate growth by having studios focus on areas where they historically haven’t experienced it. However, some studios were able to adapt, and others didn’t, so now Sega is going back to having them focus on their core strengths.
Satomi continued, saying, “As part of the process of structural reform centered on Creative Assembly, we intend to optimize the workflow and concentrate their resources on the development of their specialty genres.”
Hyenas was officially canceled back in September as part of a restructuring at Sega. Additionally, some other unannounced titles were canceled too. The game was reportedly Sega’s biggest budget game ever, and its development was reportedly hampered by a lack of clear direction. It was also reportedly a premium game before shifting to a free-to-play model with microtransactions.
Creative Assembly is best known for the real-time strategy Total War series, and its latest entry, Total War: Pharoah, was released back in October for PC.
