Sonic Team: Celebs Rumors

Sonic Team head Takashi Iizuka has said he already knows what the next game in the franchise will be after Sonic Frontiers. With the new “open-zone” take on the franchise still set for an unknown release later this year, Iizuka has confirmed that he knows what the next game is for the blue blur (via Game Informer).When asked “Do you already know what the next Sonic game is going to be?” Iizuka replied with a simple “Yes.”He was then asked how many games he knows about going forward that he can’t discuss, which Iizuka naturally said he also can’t discuss.This might not seem like that much of a surprise, as Iizuka said that Sonic Frontiers will be the next step for the next ten years, although he didn’t exactly give away what that means.“We really wanted to think about where we need to take Sonic for the next ten years,” explained Iiuzuka. “What kind of gameplay do we need to start building out to keep people excited for the future?“Sonic Frontiers is that next step for the next ten years.

Sega has trademarked the words “Sonic Frontiers” in both English and Japanese, leading to the belief that this could be the name of the upcoming Sonic title.Both the English and Japanese trademarks can be found on Chizai Watch, a website that publishes different patents, designs and trademarks from the Japan Patent Office. The recently released trademarks were filed on October 22 of this year, so if they are for this next mainline Sonic title, Sega has been considering the name for some time.A cryptic tease for this new and upcoming Sonic game coming in 2022 was made alongside the announcement of Sonic Colours Ultimate.
