Sega has officially shared unique Otoshidama envelope designs for New Year cash gifts based on games released by the company and its subsidiary Atlus. People can find and download the PDF file on Sega’s Social Media Present Site and print any of the envelope designs they like.
The 2025 New Year edition contains a total of eight designs. Six of them are based on the following games:
- Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii
- Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth (also known as Like a Dragon 8 in Japan)
- Sonic X Shadow Generations
- Sonic Rumble
- Metaphor: ReFantazio
- Persona 3 Reload
In addition to the six games mentioned above, Sega included two more envelope designs based on Sonic and Shadow from Sonic & Friends. The latter is a series of short CGI animation episodes that has been running on Sega’s official TikTok account.
Sega has been regularly sharing new Otoshidama envelope designs every year, but it does not seem to permanently publicize the files. The 2024 New Year edition featured titles like Sonic Superstars and Sonic Frontiers, but the PDF file for those designs is no longer available on the webpage.
The company has instead permanently shared Tanabata wish papers for the Japanese summer festival that starts on July 7 every year since 2021. It also published permanent Sonic-themed message cards for Father’s Day and Mother’s Day.
Out of the seven titles featured in this set, only two of them have yet to be released in 2024. Sega will release Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii for PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X, Xbox One, and PC on February 21, 2025. It is also working with the recently-acquired Rovio of Angry Birds fame to release Sonic Rumble for PC and mobile devices in the 2024-2025 Winter season.
