No it's not a game, it's a studio.
The studio's goal is to explore new forms of entertainment and build new worldwide intellectual properties. So don't expect Sonic by them. The establishment of Prope is actually the first step in a new independent developer support program from Sega. As part of this program, Sega will be establishing independent development companies from its current development staff. While not on the same scale, it appears that Sega is reverting to its Dreamcast-era development structure.
"PROPE" (pronounced "pro-pe") is a Latin word which means "beside" and "near" future.
We named our company PROPE in the hopes of bringing game entertainment much closer to users, establishing closer ties between users and us, and creating near future entertainment.
Does this mean Naka's out of Sonic Team? Dunno yet. We'll see more when Sega says more.
