Sonic Team open to Sonic Mania sequel with original developers

Sonic Team head Takazhi Iizuka has said there’s a possibility that a sequel to the well received Sonic Mania could happen someday. In a recent interview with Game Informer Iizuka said that they are still “really close” to the development team behind Sonic Mania and that there is “definitely a desire” to work with them them again though he stated that it is “not something that’s moving forward currently.”

“We’re still really close with them. We’ve gone out eating and drinking with them because relationships are important to us. They also have a lot of projects that they’re working on for what they want to do and what their business needs are. We don’t have anything to talk about now, but there’s definitely a desire to want to work with them again, and we think they could make a great game. It’s not off the books yet, but it’s not something that’s moving forward currently.”

  1. One of the few modern Sonic releases that everyone would be happy to see a sequel of…so of course Sega moved on to Superstars with a mediocre dev. Then in subsequent interviews threw 2D pixel art games under the bus by saying (basically) they can charge twice the price with a 2.5D game (no matter the quality of gameplay). Sadly that may be true, but only in the short term

  2. You guys let Evening Star’s Penny Big Breakaway flop, you do not deserve a Mania 2.

    Besides that, they clearly did not want to be chained to Sonic for eternity.

    1. We’re not legally required to buy a game in order to get the games we want. It’s like “Please buy 1 2 Switch and if it sells well, we will give you a sequel to kid Icarus uprising.” I mean no offense the pennys big breakaway, I know it’s a cool game, but it struggled to stand out when it released. I honestly forgot about it until you brought it up.

    2. Bad games deserve to fail.
      I bought both and they were boring.

      All they had to do was make Sonic mania 2, and they’d be laughing to the bank.

        1. (suggestion: always be polite and considerate (one more suggestion: this Biblical verse: “Don’t use foul or abusive language. Let everything you say be good and helpful, so that your words will be an encouragement to those who hear them.” – Ephesians 4:29, New Living Translation version))

      1. Same here. I love games that use yo-yo’s, but that game didn’t really click with me. At least the demo that is.

  3. Sonic Mania is still one of those games that fans would love to see get another chapter, so it’s encouraging that Sonic Team hasn’t completely ruled out a sequel with the original developers. The fact that the teams are still close and interested in working together makes the idea even more appealing, even if there are no current plans for Sonic Mania 2.
    For gamers who also enjoy trying different forms of online entertainment, it can be worth checking out jeetcity casino login to see the latest bonuses and promotions available. With plenty of time before a possible new Sonic Mania project, there’s always something else to explore in the meantime.

  4. I’d absolutely be down for Sonic Mania 2. The fact that they’re still close with the original team and there’s a desire to work together again is encouraging. Hopefully it’s only a matter of “when,” not “if.” What would you guys want to see in a sequel?
