Alas, there'll be no more: Lee Cocker, a game development consultant who bridged the gap between SEGA and the International Olympic Committee, has confirmed that the license has moved elsewhere. There is an official Paris 2024 game, but unfortunately Olympics Go is exclusive to smartphones and probably not what you're looking for if you're reading this article. According to Cocker, SEGA didn't give up the license, rather the IOC wanted to look elsewhere for alternative partners.
So that's it for now, then, no more awesome arcade Olympics sports games from SEGA – at least for the time being. We understand these games probably don't sell particularly well, as they're effectively minigame compilations with a very limited shelf life. But, as we mentioned above, we've always been fond of the likes of International Track & Field, so it's a shame to see there's no alternative this year.
