SEGA president Shuji Utsumi touched on what's next for the 3D Sonic the Hedgehog series after the rather competent Sonic Frontiers. He says the next game is “quite challenging” for an established company and is naturally “quite an exciting game.” He was also asked if it would be a sequel to Sonic Adventure, to which the original two games were a “game changer for Sonic”. Here is what Mr. Utsumi had to say:
The next one is going to be a pretty demanding, pretty exciting game that we're working on,” he said.
But he would not reveal whether Sega is considering a sequel to the much-loved Sonic Adventure series.
“Sonic Adventure kind of changed the game for Sonic,” he said.
“When we release it, it should be good, it should be impressive – we have to meet or even exceed people's expectations, so it takes a while.”
Part of the series that fans have been waiting for is the Chao Garden – the much-loved virtual pet that is synonymous with Sonic Adventure.
Mr Utsumi said “we've talked about it” – but wouldn't go into further detail, saying he couldn't “say too much about it”.
