After years of mostly average review scores for Sonic games, Sega is aiming high with the upcoming Sonic Frontiers.
We all love the fastest hedgehog around, we just don’t all love his games. But it seems like Sega is targeting high review scores for the next entry in the beloved-but-flawed series. As shared by VGC, during a recent analyst and investor Q&A, the company was asked if it had any targets in mind for review scores on sites like Metacritic, which Sega Sammy’s CEO Haruki Satomi and CFO Koichi Fukazawa confirmed was the case.
“We have set internal targets, as the correlation between the scores of external evaluation organizations and sales is high in Europe and North America,” the two said. “If the game gets a high score, it can become a must-buy game, and possibly generate synergy with sales, so we are currently working hard to improve the quality of the game toward its sales for the holiday season.”
