WOW Entertainment was a development company housed within Sega during the early 2000s.

It can be seen as the logical continuation of Sega AM1, primarily concerning itself with The House of the Dead and Sega GT amongst other products. Unlike AM1, however, WOW was made to focus its efforts on the home market, despite having maintained its distance during the Sega Saturn years.

In 2004 WOW merged with Overworks to form Sega WOW.
