In addition to a new Sonic game, Sega showed a trailer for Sonic the Hedgehog 2, which is the sequel to the 2020 live-action Sonic movie at the Game Awards. The team also confirmed that the game would be coming to the Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Windows PC, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X. The developers didn’t announce the title then, but they did tease the game with a cinematic trailer showing the blue hedgehog running through a forest. Sega originally announced Sonic Frontiers in May as part of the Sonic Central livestream to celebrate the franchise’s 30th anniversary.

“ Sonic Frontiers is a huge leap forward for the franchise, delivering an evolved gameplay experience that can be enjoyed by longtime Sonic fans and action-adventure enthusiasts alike,” Takashi Iizuka, creative officer at Sonic Team USA said in a release. According to the developers, Sonic Frontiers is an “open-zone-inspired experience” and will feature an original storyline from Sonic Boom writer Ian Flynn. The game is being developed by Sega’s Sonic Team Japan and is being led by producer Sachiko Kawamura and director Morio Kishimoto. The next game will be called Sonic Frontiers and it’s scheduled to be released at some point during the 2022 holiday season. Developer Sonic Team revealed the title for its next mainline game in the Sonic the Hedgehog series at the Game Awards on Thursday.
