Celebrating 25 years of going fast.
25 years is a long time. Video game software and hardware has evolved at such a rapid and rate that some franchises found it hard to keep up. Though recent years haven’t been extremely kind to Sega’s little mascot, he’s managed to endure after games like Sonic ’06 and the poorly received Sonic Boom series.
This year marks the Blue Bur’s 25th anniversary and with that came the announcement of some big plans Sega has in store for Sonic. Takashi Izuka (the head of the Sonic Team) had this to say while speaking to Famitsu
” We at Sonic Team – are developing a completely new game, as well as developing a full movie, actively done by Sony Pictures, and animation on Sonic Boom. We are also ready to improve sponsor ties. The most important thing is not the fact the series survived for 25 years, but how many games was developed. Our goal – add something new and overcome any potential hardships.”
Who knows what lies in store for Sonic? But a movie might just be the jump-start the little guy needs. What are your predictions for what the announcement might be? Let us know in the comments below!
