Developer Sonic Team revealed its next mainline game in the Sonic the Hedgehog series on Thursday. It’s a new 3D adventure Sega did not announce the game’s title and it’s coming in 2022.
A cinematic teaser for the next Sonic game that debuted during Sega’s Sonic Central livestream shows our heroic hedgehog running through a forest, blasting forward with a burst of speed that implies some sort of digital effect. Sonic sprints in a loop and disappears, forming what appears to be a stylized rune shape (or maybe it’s the word “zap”?). Regardless, it appears that Sonic will continue to go fast in the coming year.
