Playstation Tablet 1,725 Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 The rest of the current voice cast will be following Roger Craig Smith (Sonic), Cindy Robinson (Amy), and Colleen O'Shaughnessey (Tails) on their departures. Warren Graff and Ken Pontac will no longer be writing for the games. (Already semi-confirmed through LinkedIn and a recent interview with Ken Pontac.) SEGA of America is in charge of the series - management done by a branch known as the 'Sonic Pillar' in Irvine, California. They're calling the shots when it comes to games, merch, social media, etc. SOJ is well aware of how much more popular the franchise is in the west, so they've been entrusted with its care. Development still being done by Sonic Team Japan. The 30th Anniversary is being described as a new "era" for Sonic. Modern Sonic will be the focus for the franchise going forward in both 2D and 3D games. Mania was apparently a one-off thing (with Classic Sonic being described as "old hat"), and fans of the classic era should look to fangames for further installments, such as Sonic Mania Megamix, Sonic Galactic, Sonic Roboblast 2, Sonic 2 HD, etc. There will be a split in both 2D and 3D gameplay; 2D will only exist in exclusively 2D games, and 3D games will be exclusively 3D from this point forward. A new Sonic collection is rumored to come out in June. Will include a majority of classic games and also games that haven't been in circulation for years. Won't include Sonic 3. Status of new Mario&Sonic Olympics game is tentative at the moment due to the pandemic and controversy surrounding China. New Modern Sonic 2D game. Possibly developed by Dimps. Next 3D Sonic game will: -Not feature boost -Full 3D game -Features return of spindash in 3D and character upgrades -More playable characters rather than solely Sonic -First game conceptualized by the 'Sonic Pillar' in the US. -Entirely new team at Sonic Team, featuring a bunch of new hires post-Forces. -Cross-gen game -Holiday 2021, although might get delayed to 2022 if quality standards aren't met. SEGA wants to get this one right. -No tie-in with the movie franchise. Reveals should start rolling out from the next few weeks to the end of March, although an announcement might come in a couple of days. More guest appearances in other games, similar to Puyo Puyo Tetris. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Twinblade★ 3,907 Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 I still don't see a full 3D Sonic game being good again, but it seems that theres a lot of fresh blood involved in this project so maybe they'll pull off something worth playing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jehurey 3,230 Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 Does this really need to be leaked? Like, Sega will be spending every 5 years making a Sonic anniversary game, and talking about a "new era" for Sonic. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tears of the Cows 1,207 Posted February 8, 2021 Share Posted February 8, 2021 Every new Sonic game has been a new “era”, sadly they all suck. Maybe an open world/botw style fame could work Quote Link to post Share on other sites
