This teeny-tiny article needs some work. You can help us by expanding it.


Sega WOW (株式会社セガワウ) was a division within Sega Corporation. It was created in October 2003 following a merger between WOW Entertainment and Overworks - an attempt to streamline operations due to Sega's challenging economic situation at the time. Initially it was known as WOW Works, though changed its name before it had a chance to release any games.

Effectively, the studio was more of a continuation of Overworks rather than WOW, with every game being a consumer title, with the exception of Dragon Treasure which was a Overworks title as well.

It was split into two teams after it it merged back into Sega proper, Sega AM1 for arcade titles and Global Entertainment R&D Dept. 2 for consumer games.
