IRVINE, Calif. - June 8, 2017 - SEGA® and ATLUS® today announced a bumper line-up for E3 2017 across two neighboring stands in the West Hall, showcasing a diverse selection of games in the publisher's biggest E3 showing since 2013.
"We're really pleased to see Yakuza and Sonic back on the biggest stage for video games, and having the first public hands-on for Total War: WARHAMMER 2 underlines a really strong showing from SEGA and ATLUS this year!" said John Clark, Senior Vice President for SEGA Europe Ltd. "We look forward to welcoming trade visitors but we're especially looking forward to having the public come and see our line-up this year, it's great for E3 and it's great for publishers. We're confident there's something for everyone on the SEGA stands this year."
"From a bleak story about 13 heroes and their mechs in 13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim, to the emotional, final story arc of Kazuma Kiryu in the Yakuza series as he goes from a lone fighter to a loyal protector, to nostalgic gameplay from titles like Radiant Historia: Perfect Chronology and Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey Redux, and longed-for sequels such as Etrian Odyssey V: Beyond the Myth, SEGA and ATLUS are positioned to deliver a very gratifying line-up for all E3 attendees this year," said Naoto Hiraoka, President and CEO of Atlus U.S.A., Inc. and Senior Vice President of Publishing for SEGA of America, Inc.
"We're thrilled to have not just one, but two great Sonic games coming out this year for all the major consoles plus PC," said Ivo Gerscovich, Chief Brand Officer for Sonic the Hedgehog. "Both games will be on the E3 show floor for everyone to try. Sonic Mania, which we recently announced is available for pre-order, will be showcasing new demo stages while Sonic Forces will have its first ever hands on experience. Come by and see why this is the year of Sonic."
