Sega held their Sonic 25th anniversary party at the House of Blues in San Diego last night. As expected, there were many announcements. Two of which were new games.
- Sonic Mania – For long time Sonic fans, this is what we’ve been waiting for. A sprite based Sonic game akin to old Genesis/Megadrive days. It’s being led by Taxman and Stealth, also known for their spot on ports (and enhanced) of Sonic CD, Sonic 1 and Sonic 2.
- Project Sonic 2017 – We don’t have an official name yet but it includes modern and classic Sonic, similar in nature of Sonic Generations. We’re told it’s not a sequel, so it’s not a Sonic Generations 2. This likely means it’s an all new adventure and based upon the trailer it definitely appears to be.
Other notable announcements include:
- Sonic Boom Season 2 Trailer
- Sonic Lego Dimensions Trailer
- Classic Sonic in Sonic Dash
- Sonic and Hello Kitty partnership
