Sega has recently published its Road to 2020 business presentation, and among the interesting information in there, the company revealed that both Persona 5 and Total War: Warhammer have been successes for them. It appears alongside all the standard things that SEGA is planning to revive old, great IPs. Considering the state of the industry, some of them make more sense than others.

As part of its most recent investor report, Sega shared that it is looking to revive some of its "major" inactive game series.

What IPs will be revived by Sega are now under speculation as no other details were revealed in the presentation.

Under "Packaged Game Field" SEGA included "Expand existing IPs and obtain new IPs for North American and European PC Games" and the "Revival of major IPs".

Sega explains that it doesn't want to work backward from the platforms it's working on.

However, SEGA's new revitalized IPs should be different on a region-to-region basis.

Above: Sega is taking an IP-first strategy. On May 25, the publisher will do the same with Platinum's cult-favorite shooter Vanquish.

But it's main goal is to "create IPs that will become global hits", suggesting its games will see more localization than ever before.

Regardless of its stature in modern times, Sega is a name that resonates and instantly comes to mind when you think classic gaming. The publisher clearly thinks that it can build a successful business by making quality games under brands that people know and love.
