According to an article on Gamesindustry.biz, San Francisco developer Secret Level has signed a new development deal with Sega which will see the company re-create a classic Sega franchise on PS3 and Xbox 360.Recent endeavours by Secret Level include Karaoke Revolution on the Xbox for Konami, plus currently they are working on America's Army: Rise of a Soldier for Xbox and PS2. Also, fans of the old arcade classic will be pleased to know SL are working on Final Fight: Streetwise for the Xbox.
It is still unclear as to what franchise the developer will be working on for Sega. Some have hinted at Sonic the Hedgehog but this is mere speculation at best.
"The talented design team at Secret Level has demonstrated innovation in game development," according to Sega of America president and COO Simon Jeffrey, "and has a history of technical achievements that will help Sega reinvigorate a vintage and highly commercial franchise."
Of all the Japanese publishers, Sega has been arguably the most bullish in its approach to next-generation development - showcasing Xbox 360 titles such as Full Auto in fully playable form at E3 earlier this year, when most other publishers were simply showing rolling demos, if anything.
