SEGA has dropped plenty of not-so-subtle hints that a new Sonic game is in the works. As if any other confirmation was needed, Sonic Team head Takashi Iizuka told Famitsu this week outright that “a completely new game” is happening. That’s in addition to a new movie from Sony and the ongoing Sonic Boom show.

Iizuka’s words in full:

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. We are also ready to improve sponsor ties. The most important thing is not the fact the series survived for 25 years, but how many games was developed. Our goal – add something new and overcome any potential hardships.

Many are anticipating that the new Sonic game will be unveiled during a 25th anniversary party on July 22.

Warner Bros. has brought several games to Wii U over the company’s lifespan, and it looks like that support will continue with NX. In an interview with GamesBeat, Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment president David Haddad addressed a question about making games for the new systems on the way, including NX. He mentioned that the publisher has “great relationships with all the console platforms” and will “play a role in each of them.”

Warner Bros. was at Wii U’s launch with games such as Scribblenauts Unlimited and Batman: Arkham City – Armored Edition. That support has continued through to the present. In fact, next week, the company will ship LEGO Star Wars: The Force Awakens on Wii U.

In July 2014, Shigeru Miyamoto said that he didn’t want to label the new Zelda game as “open world”. He explained what he meant with this while speaking with IGN at E3 last week.

Miyamoto said:

“I think within the game industry or the tech industry, there’s a tendency to want to name everything. But I think it’s important for what we do that we don’t want to be dependent or swayed by the technology and what’s available now.”

“We want to use the technology and the techniques that are available to make what we want to make. What’s important is to really express how we use that to make our experience unique. We didn’t want to just make a game where you can do anything, but we wanted to make sure that we make a game where the player is able to do anything, but it’s also a form of entertainment. It’s fun to do all of those things.”

“That’s why we felt that coming up with a name that we created would be best. The term ‘Open Air’ is a result of that. That’s what Bill [Trinen] uses a lot.”
