Werehog from Sonic Unleashed will return says Black Knight director

“For the improvements, I can’t think of anything right now off the top of my head. If I think of any ideas then Sonic Unleashed 2 will be the time for that, so I don’t really have an answer for that. But you will see the Werehog again. I like Secret Rings very much, but when it came to making this title [Sonic and the Black Knight] we chose to do something different. All the good things about Secret Rings belong to that specific game. So in the same way, unless we’re going to make Sonic Unleashed 2 you might not see him again. But if we are going to make it, you might see him again. It’s a possibility.” – Sonic and the Black Knight director Tetsu Katano

I hope I’m not the only one that believes bringing back the werehog is an absolutely terrible idea. If anything, the werehog was criticized more than anything else in Unleashed.
