It's actually happening! https://www.sonicstadium.org/2020/05/sonic-the-hedgehog-sequel-is-in-development/ https://variety.com/2020/film/news/sonic-the-hedgehog-sequel-1234619356/ After the huge roller coaster leading up to the first film, it's so surreal to see that a sequel is actually in the works. Tails is certainly a shoe-in, but I wonder if they'll try to rope Knuckles and Amy into the narrative? Do you think Jim Carrey will reprise his role as Eggman? Guess this can be the thread for Sonic the Hedgehog: 2 Fast 2 Foxy! EDIT: The sequel has now been confirmed to be called Sonic the Hedgehog 2! ... of course.

Hey guys, Thought I'd share a piece of SEGA news that I managed to grab the exclusive on. In 2003, there was an official push to create a movie based on the Dreamcast game Headhunter. The Dreamcast title had been released in Europe in 2001, with a 2002 re-release on the PS2. Headhunter: Redemption would follow up in 2004, and it's likely that there was an attempt to capitalise on the upcoming title by creating a movie based on the first title. The film was sent to a British screenwriter (based in Los Angeles at the time) called Ben Trebilcook and he was hired to write a Treatment (outline of the story) and the screenplay. He completed the task and sadly the project was canned within the next year. I scored an interview with him in January for my radio show, and I had been primed with the cyberpunk work he had been involved in (and when I saw the name Headhunter for SEGA, I was obviously shocked and ecstatic!) as my show is primarily about cyberpunk as a genre. I raised it during the interview and he gave a little coverage and agreed to send me a copy of the treatment and screenplay. Sadly, he couldn't find the screenplay but he did find the Treatment. I've hosted the screenplay on my website, as well as the video and what little information we have on the film otherwise. www.cyberpunkstudios.co.uk/headhunter I hope you guys enjoy this slice of SEGA history that never came to be. I know there are Dreamcast and general SEGA fans here too, and thought this might be of interest Roareye Black.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/blogs-news-from-elsewhere-26887186 The world has officially gone mad. How can a nine month old baby plan a murder? You'd think this was a late April Fool's joke, but it's actually real. WTF, humanity? Seriously, WTF?! It says a group of more than 30 people total are facing charges, so maybe the baby has just been roped in with the rest of the group? But even then, you just wouldn't charge the baby. That baby isn't even aware of what's going on around it, never mind planning and committing crimes.

I've heard most people say Sonic has always been 15. Sometimes I hear 16, 17, any many more. Though I'm sure he's 15, What's your thoughts? (If you can, please put in the ages of Sonic Characters that are not on this list) http://sonic.sega.jp/SonicChannel/character/tails.html

So recently, Takashi Iizuka has been telling us that 2021 will be the year of Sonic. So that's probably when the new Sonic game will be released. But, what is the game? Some fans have been saying there will be a Sonic Adventure remake, some have been saying another modern sonic game, however, majority of fans have been talking about a Silver the hedgehog game! Is this true? Let's go into more detail! So Silver the Hedgehog made it's first appearance in Sonic the Hedgehog (2006) as a playable character, then has been in other side games such as Sonic Rivals 1 and 2 and Mario and Sonic Olympic games etc. But fans have been wondering will there be a Silver the hedgehog game? Well, our first leak is music, Bentley Jones. who is a composer, wrote many songs such as: So much more for Sonic and SEGA All Stars Racing, and Dreams of an absolution for Silver's theme in Sonic (2006). However, during June in 2019, he released his own remix to the song "Dreams of an absolution". Many fans have said this is a rumour for the Silver the Hedgehog game but nor SEGA or the Sonic Team in general have confirmed this. Another rumour is during SXSW 2018 Sonic panel. During a Q&A, somebody told Takashi Iizuka "Will there be a Silver game? A canon? Spin-off or what?" Some of the people in charge of the Sonic panel such as Tyson Hesse, and Keys were actually impressed with this Question, Iizuka responded with "We have a lot of Fans of Silver the hedgehog and we will like to do something for Silver in the future." So a lot of fans are talking about this rumour. Some other leaks are that SEGA released a picture on January 20th 2020, the back ground picture was Silver's Symbol, they also have been adding him to other game's such as Team Sonic Racing, so this is not confirmed yet, but these are very strong points, so who know's? Will there be one in the future?

So I decided to make this topic in case it hasn't been done yet. Serving as a reminder of such announcements & that way all related discussions can go here in the future. Unless something comes out of said announcements that need another dedicated topic for. As we all know, Sega will be having new Sonic news on the 20th of every month of this year. The 20th being tomorrow morning in some time zones, there will be a broadcast to announce such news. What it'll be? We have no clue as of yet. But feel free to speculate on what you think we'll see from this. I feel like it'll be either; IDW sneak peeks. Merchandise Film sequel announcement possibly. Maaaybe a TV show or animation. Might be too early for a new game reveal, but I could be wrong. Won't have to wait too much longer though. Just... try to keep expectations low.

https://www.sonicstadium.org/2019/06/iizuka-says-2021-will-be-a-big-year-for-sonic-drop-dash-will-be-a-mainstay/ Izuka says that the next main series title will be another anniversary title. He is also planning on having the Drop Dash as a mainstay, which is why it is in the Sega Ages Sonic 1. (I hope it displaces those Wisps). He also mentioned how Mighty and Ray entered Mania, in a way that gives me hope for certain OTHER characters to weasel their way into the classic series if not elsewhere. The longer gaps are a good idea on paper, as that’s what the console manufacturers do, and there is material to fill the gap.
