October 15 sees the first title released, with a new game released each on the following free days. Armor Of Heroes drops first and will be a competitive local multiplayer retro-inspired tank game, with co-op options available. The next day will see Endless Zone joining the selection and is described as a side-scrolling shooter which will merge the worlds of The Endless and Fantasy Zone.
Moving onto October 17, Streets Of Kamurocho blends the Yakuza series with Streets Of Rage to concoct an intense side-scrolling beat ‘em up. Finally, the day after Golden Axed will drop, a never-before-seen glimpse at a canned project called Golden Axe: Reborn. Each of the free games will be available until October 19 when they will be removed completely.
Additionally, fans who link their Steam accounts to the official Sega 60th website will be eligible to receive a free copy of the Sega Saturn title, NiGHTS Into Dreams. However, the account link must be made during the Sega celebration.
The full rundown of the event can be found at the Sega 60th Anniversary website here.
Sega recently stated that it plans to “aggressively” port more games to PC, following the success of Persona 4 Golden releasing.
