Japanese site 4Gamer recently had the opportunity to interview Sonic Team head Takashi Iizuka who confirmed to the publication that a new Sonic the Hedgehog game is in development that will feature “unprecedented gameplay.” Sadly Mr. Iizuka couldn’t go into specifics on the new game but he did say that “there’s still plenty of room for the series to evolve.” Here’s what was said via machine translation:
4Gamer: So, taking into account the history of the series, could you tell us your outlook on how Sonic might evolve in the future?
Iizuka: I can’t go into specifics about the new game currently under development, but I’m confident that there’s still plenty of room for the series to evolve. The introduction of Color Power in “Sonic Colors” significantly changed the way the series is played, and I believe there’s still more to come in the systemic evolution pioneered by “Sonic Frontier.” We’ll be creating unprecedented gameplay through various approaches, from characters and story to game systems, so please look forward to it.
unprecedented gameplay they say interesting
You literally have my Minecraft Java username. :/
I swear Sonic Team does nothing but spout vague, meaningless crap to get the fanboys excited for another serving of slop.
It’s genuinely sad to watch at this point.
Sonic wont die out for a while. It has a lot of potential still from the originals
Sonic has gobs of potential if they just give him over to a competent team…
Sega say this at every 6 months.
Capcom too unfortunately
Takashi Iizuka: Takashi clever, learns lots. Has learned new sonic game.
Some sonic fans: It’s it as useless as the other failed sonic games?
Takashi Iizuka: Yes…err, Takashi means no. Must sell lots of copies this time or shareholders feed me to monster…
Wildly unnecessary racism in your criticism but I imagine without it you would need to actually articulate something besides implying someone is stupid through broken English

If you think thats bad, wait till you see some of the trolls who hate Allister, Avery and Hop from pokemon games for not being waifus. You almost sound like a soccer mom who blames Al Qaeda on Harry Potter.
All they said is to stop being racist, dewgongorbs

People who think that Banjo Tooie jokes are racist are failures at life.
@maplebeesticky
Klungo speak is not racism you flaming idiot. People like you are the reason why north American versions of fire emblem games get ruined with censorship.
A reply to maplebeesticky:
@maplebeesticky
That’s rich coming from an adult content creator. Falsely accusing a person of being racist just for making a reference to the 3rd Klungo boss fight from Banjo Tooie.
And yet I just want to replay sonic adventure 2 battle
The kings of vagueposting
What’s Asgore doing here? That’s my favorite song and character of all!
Sonic: Hey look, fans! I-I’m a leg! A leg fans, I’m leg Soniiiiiiiic!
“Unprecedented”
“We’re going to make them run through so many loops!”
I would really love for them to make a new Ecco the Dolphin game.
This time he will run on a treadmill and will be a tie-in to the DC crossover. It will be the cosmic treadmill. It will sell 1 gazillion copies.
Crisis of Infinite Gems: Starring Sonic and The Flash with his cosmic treadmill. Sega is not like other companies, they announce and the games comes soon. Coming soon: 2040.
Teaser trailer shows movie Sonic and game Sonic meeting for the first time. They see a universe with old design movie Sonic and say he is ugly. So funny. Teaser trailer has 1 billions views per hour. It will break YouTube.
Sonic is boring, aside from the racing games. Let him go the way of the Dodo!
I didn’t like the whisps just like I didn’t like the Emerald abilities in Superstars. I hate forced Gimmicks. I want Sonic and traditional platforming. Shadow Generations almost perfected it. Sonic Frontiers action stages controlled bad.
There is a lot more room that the franchise will stay on its feet.
Sonic had more success in 3 movies than most games in the past decade, keep sonic a movie Franchise and quit wasting money on sega America who seen to love making awful sonic games.
They should just give sonic to Nintendo at this point….
Maplebeesticky, your mistaken. That user is just making a poorly recognized reference to a Banjo Tooie boss fight (Klungo 3), not being a racist. Anyway if we got a sonic heroes port to current gen, it could better than sonic frontiers.
And my comments are gone…….
Why?
Nevermind. I was thinking of a different article.
Please pleaseee when you release the game actually have it be finished. If another sonic game comes out that is clearly half finished and full of glitches I’m going to scream
