Sonic the Hedgehog 2020 and 2021

Evening reddit, I come with information related to Sonic/SEGA. I'm an intern at SoA (not revealing my true role as I love my job), so whether you believe me or not, this is what you'll be getting.

There are two games coming out.

Game 1: Sonic Redux (Next-Gen)

Sonic Redux is (yet) another reboot to the Sonic the Hedgehog universe. This game will be focusing on a tone similar to Sonic Heroes, but less cheesy than Sonic Forces.

Gameplay is based on Sonic Advance 2 with speed and momentum playing a huge focus (no boost). Hub worlds are here too, but more linear to navigate through than Soleanna.

There will be three playable characters: Sonic the Hedgehog Miles "Tails" Prower Knuckles the Echidna

Each character will receive three skins: Sonic: Shadow the Hedgehog, Classic Sonic, & Espio the Chameleon Tails: Cream the Rabbit, NiGHTS, & Boom Tails Knuckles: Rouge the Bat, Tikal, & Metal Knuckles from Sonic R

Development began immediately after Sonic Forces launched, expected to launch Summer-Fall 2021.

Game 2: Blaze the Cat (Nintendo Switch Exclusive)

Fans have been asking for Sonic Rush, and Blaze the Cat to return, so this is what they get.

Gameplay is akin to Sonic Colors with mostly 2-D gameplay and a fair bit of 3-D every now and then.

Sonic Mania's "Taxman" was offered a promotion by SEGA to work on a 3-D title. Taxman is the lead director on Blaze the Cat with Takashi Iizuka as producer. Development would be quicker if it was done on one piece of hardware, and Sonic Rush & Sonic Rush Adventure were already exclusives on the Nintendo DS.

Development began soon after Sonic Mania Plus launched in Summer 2018. Release is estimated for Holiday 2020.

That's all there is to it folks. In the meantime, please check out Sonic Mania Plus if you have yet to play it.

P.S., there is no Sonic Adventure remake yet, but keep asking and it will come. -T
