SEGA Racing Studio, based in Birmingham, UK, has closed its doors for the last time. According to Next Generation, an anonymous former staffer has told the site that the studio has will be shutdown just three years after being founded. Moreover, the studio only produced one game during their stint at development. SEGA Rally Revo met critical acclaim but never hit projected sales figures. Next Gen received confirmation directly from SEGA in an email that stated that, “The decision (to close the studio) 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 would like to stress that there will be no changes within their other internal development studios.”
