Sega is adding staff to its Sonic Team in Shinagawa City, Japan, during the franchise's 35th anniversary year. The company has posted openings for several senior roles.
The positions include a producer, lead planner, lead graphics programmer, and technical art manager. Job listings do not name the specific project under development.
The moves follow a limited presence at this year's Summer Game Fest. Sega showed trailers for Sonic Racing: Crossworlds and Sonic: Pico Park, but some fans noted the absence of larger announcements.
The hiring indicates ongoing work at the studio. No details on timelines or new game releases were provided in the postings.
