Sega teases new Cosmic Smash, reviving the cult-classic Dreamcast game - Polygon
Jan 23, 2023 52 secs
Cosmic Smash was released in arcades, on Sega’s Naomi platform, and on Dreamcast, but only in Japan.

Now, it appears the third-person cyberpunk sports game, which arrived at the tail end of the Dreamcast’s life, is coming back.

On Monday, Sega’s social media accounts began teasing “cmashvrs” with the phrase “Eye c sth forming” — presumably reading “I see something forming.” The teaser leads to an official website, with little in the way of detail, with the exception of a countdown timer and a playable Breakout-style minigame.

Also intriguing is how quickly musician Ken Ishii retweeted Sega’s teaser.

The Japanese DJ has appeared on the soundtrack for Sega’s Rez and Q Entertainment’s Lumines 2, and the music that plays on the Cosmic Smash teaser website sounds similar to Ishii’s style.

And with Sony’s PlayStation VR 2 launching in February, just a week or so after Sega’s expected announced of a new Cosmic Smash, the timing for a virtual reality take on the Dreamcast cult classic sounds like a perfect coincidence.
