Sega WOW (株式会社セガワウ) was a subsidiary of Sega. 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 an Overworks title as well, and Kick '4' Cash, which have had more in common with WOW Entertainment.

The company was reintegrated into Sega as Sega WOW Div (セガワウDiv)^[3] in July 2004. In November the same year, it was split into two teams, Sega AM1 for arcade titles and Global Entertainment R&D Dept. 2 for consumer games.
