For more than two decades, Sonic the Hedgehog has been one of the world’s biggest gaming icons, with over 70 video game titles, four animated series, and an extensive global merchandising line to his name. This year, SEGA is excited to introduce a new branch of the Sonic universe, entitled Sonic Boom, that will debut a new look for Sonic and friends and launch their first-ever CG animated television series, new video games for Wii U and Nintendo 3DS, and a new toy line. The creative driving forces behind these projects are working together with SEGA to kick-start a global campaign for Sonic Boom that will excite and engage new and existing fans across a variety of platforms.

Sonic Boom’s visual identity includes character designs inspired by the abilities and unique personalities of each of the characters, while still maintaining the core identity and values of the Sonic brand. The rich worlds of the TV series and videogame will share a common narrative and a number of location and stylistic similarities reflecting full collaboration between videogame, TV series partners and SEGA from the outset.

Update: New image has surfaced (attached below).

Original: SEGA’s Sonic press event is taking place as we speak, and one member of the press was kind enough to share a few tidbits from the presentation.

As expected, Sonic Boom – the upcoming animated show – is intended to act as the next-generation of SEGA’s vision for the franchise. The television show will lead to a new game on dedicated gaming systems as well as mobile platforms.

Sonic, Knuckles, Tails, and Amy are all getting new looks. Sonic and Knuckles, shown above, feature sports tape. Tails possesses a tool belt.

We’re waiting on more details and clarification on a few things, so stay tuned for further updates.

“2014 will mark a renaissance for Sonic the Hedgehog,” a press invitation from SEGA reads. The company will be hosting an event tomorrow so that announcements and future plans for Sonic can be shared.

Based on the art above Sonic Boom will be one of the highlights of the press gathering. A logical assumption would be that a game or two will be appearing as well.

Just don’t expect news out of the gate – there’s a good chance information will be embargoed.
