Sonic as a franchise is in a curious situation right now. When we look at the hedgehog’s popularity, it is definitely at a high-point thanks to the successful movie sequel that was recently in cinemas. However, when we talk about the actual games, some would argue it’s been a while since we saw a solid release from Sonic Team.

Sonic Frontiers is the next mainline game coming out and expectations are all over the place. Thanks to a weird first impression, people are already worried about it. Right now, however, things are getting progressively better, with new footage and information about the game constantly being revealed and giving some hope for us fans.

I discuss this rollercoaster of events in today’s video, sharing my opinions on the matter. Feel free to check it down below.

SEGA and Two Point Studios are unveiling a couple more areas of Two Point Campus, with the two sides providing a first look at the Cheese Course and Robotics Course this week.

sonic fans future

According to Sonic boss Takashi Iizuka, Sonic Frontiers should almost be considered as the series’ “third generation”. Additionally, the title should be thought of as the “next step for the next 10 years.”

Iizuka shared these comments in an interview with GamesBeatThe site asked about Sonic fans and whether it can be scary showing off a new game. That led him to point out how the first generation of Sonic was classic with its side-scrolling gameplay, followed by modern gameplay starting with Sonic Adventure. SEGA is now thinking about the long-term future of the franchise, which is where Sonic Frontiers comes in.

Sonic Origins modes

SEGA has issued a new trailer for Sonic Origins that provides a look at the different game modes.

The main highlights are Classic and Anniversary Mode. Also, with Story Mode, all of the titles are connected in a single adventure. There’s even a Boss Rush Mode, Mission Mode, and Mirror Mode. Don’t forget that in the Museum, fans can check out music, concept art, videos, and more.
