SEGA still restructuring, will close most European and Australian offices
SEGA is continuing to make drastic moves within the company following significant financial losses.
It’s been revealed that nearly all of SEGA’s European and Australian offices will be shut down in the very near future.
Although SEGA UK will still act as the main European HQ, Koch Media will handle distribution of most European retail titles going forward. Level03 Distribution is being brought on to take care of products in Benelux. 5 Star will distribute future titles in Australia.
COO of Sega Europe Jurgen Post said in a statement:
“SEGA is entering a new and exciting phase that will position the company as a content led organisation maximising sales with strong and balanced IP such as Sonic the Hedgehog, Total War, Football Manager and the Aliens franchise. The company will benefit from a clear focus and realigned strategy for our digital business and packaged goods and we are confident that this will lead to a successful future.”
