In May, Sega announced that it was working on a new Sonic the Hedgehog game for release in 2022. A short promotional video was then shown. In this video, Sonic was running through a forest and an unexplained symbol flashing when he went super speed caught our attention.
New game announcement came faster than Sonic
In an interview with 4Gamer translated by Nintendo Enthusiast, Sonic Team president Takashi Lizuka acknowledged that the announcement was made a little early. Referring to the disappointing 2017 game, Takashi said, “Since Sonic Forces, we have not announced a brand new action game for the Sonic series, which has worried fans.”
“While it’s a little early, I wanted to announce the development of a brand new game, at least on the occasion of the 30th anniversary,” sonic said, to the deserial of his fans. Takashi Lizuka also made a small statement about the mysterious symbol that appeared in the promotional video, which lasted only 32 seconds. “It’s symbolic, but its meaning is still a secret. However, I will say that this is not something that can be solved through a interruption. In the end we will share more details, so please wait a little longer,” he said. For now, this is all we have on the new Sonic game.
The all-new Sonic Team game will come to PC, PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One and Xbox Series X/S in 2022. Don’t worry if you’re a Sonic fan who can’t wait until 2022. Sonic Colors Ultimate will be released this September, the Sonic Origins compilation game coming in 2022, and the 24-part animated series, which will be released on the Netflix platform.
