Sonic Boom

Update: Castle has confirmed that the tease is indie-related.


Original: ONM is teasing a new Wii U title for its next issue. While the magazine itself didn’t offer much in the way of hints, editor Matthew Castle has ruled out one possibility.

Castle confirmed on Twitter that the mystery game isn’t related to Sonic Boom. He said:


The comment “what it is may no longer be relevant” is a bit interesting. Perhaps an attempt to lower expectations? Could it be some other Wii U title we recently heard about such as Art of Balance? Or maybe we’ll be hearing about the game before the next issue of ONM is out?

So this is a bit unexpected. We’ve seen Sonic Boom before, even though we didn’t know it. The game’s environments were showcased as part of a CryEngine 3 GDC 2013 video, which went live last March. I don’t think many would have predicted that Big Red Button was giving a look at its new Sonic game at the time!
