Sonic’s New Game Announced Too Early – Sega’s Own Admits
This 2021 is a year of anniversaries, and among the many renowned sagas that celebrate their twenties or thirties is the favorite of SEGA fans. We are talking, of course, about Sonic the Hedgehog , and with the celebration of its 30th anniversary last month, the Japanese company took the opportunity to announce a new Sonic game that will arrive in 2022 . A game that was announced without an official name – although it seems that it will be ” Sonic Rangers ” – without offering details or showing an iota of its playability.
Come on, the new Sonic game was announced prematurely . And be careful, this is not said by us, but by Takashi Iizuka , the producer of the saga and director of Team Sonic. In an interview for 4Gamer, translated and shared by Nintendo Enthusiast, the developer claims that they announced the game early to reassure expectant news fans . “We haven’t announced a new action installment in the Sonic saga since Sonic Forces, and that caused fans to worry .”
“While it was a bit premature , we wanted to take the 30th anniversary occasion to announce at least that there is a completely new game in development,” admits Iizuka. The producer also spoke about that mysterious logo that appeared in the game’s announcement teaser: “It is something symbolic that appears in the game, but its meaning is still secret. I will say that it is not something that one can deduce on their own. We will offer more details over time, so please wait a bit longer. “
Announced at the end of May, the new Sonic game is scheduled for 2022 and the first rumors spoke that it would be an open world game. What seems less rumor is that the game would be called Sonic Rangers, since it is a name that SEGA itself escaped in the press releases and its announcement communications, as we informed you a few months ago. Will we see a real ad in a few months, with more than just a teaser? In any case, we remind you that Sonic Colors: Ultimate will be released this September , to make your wait more enjoyable.
