Send to email | Sega Racing Studio closed, not profitable in segasega-driving-studiosega-racing-studiosega-rally-revo | By James Ransom-Wiley el 09-Apr-2008 | Filed under: Driving, Business

Sega has confirmed closure of its Sega Racing Studio, which, despite ballooning to more than 60 employees, has managed only a single release since its creation in 2005. One, and done.
"The decision is part of a review of Sega's Western Development Studios to ensure that each studio is a profitable entity in its own right, and unfortunately the Sega Racing Studio's 5 year plan would not result in a successful return for the Sega business moving forward," Sega explained to Next-Gen. Poor sales of last year's Sega Rally Revo likely encouraged the decision to shut down Sega Racing Studio "immediately," bringing an indefinite halt to purported projects currently in development. Sega has not made public the ultimate fates of the staff members, who include a diverse array of veteran talent, headed by former Colin McRae Rally series producer Guy Wilday, but did add, "Sega would like to stress that there will be no changes within their other internal development studios."
