Sonic the Hedgehog has two very different types of gameplay styles. There’s the classic 2D titles that have been around since the franchise’s early days, but a bunch of 3D entries have also been put out over the years. Fortunately, both versions of Sonic will be considered carefully going forward.
During a recent interview with Otaquest, Sonic Team head Takashi Iizuka was asked if the popularity of Sonic Mania has affected the way in which the studio approaches the handling of the franchise. Iizuka said in response:

We’ll also note that an 18-inch Pikachu Funko Pop is happening as well. GameStop has it up on its website here for a whopping $99.99.
Those looking to do business at GameStop locations across the United States will soon be required to wear a mask. Starting July 27, the retailer will be requiring a face covering before entering stores to help avoid the spread of the coronavirus. People with “concerns, or health-related issues in wearing a face covering” are advised to shop at GameStop online.
GameStop CEO George Sherman said in a statement:
It was previously announced that plans are underway to bring cross-play and cross-progression features to Dead by Daylight in the future. A major status update was provided on the official website today.
As for cross-play, Switch players will be able to encounter users on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC. The team says this will be enabled soon.
Regarding cross-progression, you’ll be able to carry over progression, purchases, and inventory between Switch, Steam, and Stadia. However, some restrictions may apply. This is currently intended to go live in September.
