We previously speculated about what the mysterious SEGA Forever might be. Now, we are happy to announce that the mystery is finally over and we know what it is. As we said before, the app is a collection of classic SEGA games that can be played on Android and iOS devices.
The games are free to play, and you can play them with ads or purchase them for R$6.49. SEGA promises new releases every two weeks. Each game will be a separate app, and SEGA Forever games will include titles from every console era, including:
The first games will be released tomorrow, June 22, and are:
- Sonic The Hedgehog
- Altered Beast
- Phantasy Star II
- Comix Zone
- Kid Chameleon
Each game will include extras such as:
- Online leaderboards
- Cloud saves
- Offline play
- Bluetooth controller support
- Community news feed
- App-menu languages including English, French, Italian, German, Spanish, Russian, and most importantly, Brazilian Portuguese.
Mike Evans from SEGA's mobile division expressed his own excitement about SEGA Forever, saying:
“Above all, SEGA Forever is a celebration of nostalgia. It is about allowing fans to reconnect with past experiences and share them with their families and friends in a convenient and accessible way. Join us on a journey of rediscovery as we work through two decades of free classic games on mobile devices. Create your own folder in the app and collect your favorite classics. Enjoy moments of nostalgia wherever you are, or connect a Bluetooth controller for a console-like experience in your living room. SEGA Forever democratizes retrogaming and seeks to change the way the world plays, rediscovers, and shares its classic gaming experiences.”
