A Sonic The Hedgehog Game Is In The Works

The Sonic Team has just announced that a new Sonic The Hedgehog game is currently in the works. The confirmation comes from an interview in Famitsu, translated by Sonic fansite Soah City.

Game director Takashi Iizuka  discussed the new game that The Sonic Team and Sega are working on while also mentioning how they are working with Sony Pictures to bring the movie to life.

We at Sonic Team are developing a completely new game, as well as developing a full movie actively done by Sony Pictures, and animation on Sonic Boom.

The most important thing is not the fact that the series survived for 25 years, but how many games [were] developed. Our goal [is to] add something new and overcome any potential hardships.

No details were given on what the game would be but given that 2016 is the 25th anniversary of Sonic the Hedgehog, we could see an official announcement, possibly a trailer this year.

2016 marks the most active Sonic have been so far with the character making an appearance in LEGO Dimensions and recently taking a jab at the troubled release of Mighty No. 9.

Congrats on the launch, @MightyNo9!
