Rumor: New Sonic Game Is Sonic Adventure 3

Posted by Leo R. on Feb 6, 2013 in Games, News |

Back in late January, sources close to Sega informed the Sonic Stadium that a new Sonic the Hedgehog game for current and next-gen consoles would be announced in mid-February. The rumored game would feature similar Sonic-style gameplay from Sonic Unleashed (daytime stages), Sonic Colors, and Sonic Generations. Multiple stage routes from the Genesis days would return, but this time around they’ll lead to different exits and levels; encouraging replay for the players. In addition to Sonic, multiple characters from the franchise would be playable again in the game. All characters will be able to complete any stage, but some will have an easier time than others, depending on their unique skills.

While all this Sonic news sounded juicy, no further information regarding the mysterious title has been released. However, a Netherlands writer for N1nintendo has revealed the name of Sonic’s brand new video game outing, which is actually a blast from the past if true.

That’s right, the next installment of the Sonic the Hedgehog series will apparently be a third entry of the Adventure series. Now, As Marcel puts it, Sega could be using the Sonic Adventure 3 title as a placeholder until they find a name more fitting for the new game. With that in mind, six Sonic Adventure 3 domains were registered back in July of last year.

Regardless of the name, there has been strong evidence to suggest a new Sonic the Hedgehog game is coming our way. Happy Tree Friends’ writer Ken Pontac, who co-wrote Sonic Colors and Sonic Generations, was credited for writing a new Sonic game in his listing on Animation on Display 2013. Rap artist Hunnid-P, who performed Knuckle’s music in Sonic Adventure 2, confirmed on Youtube he’s composing new songs for a new Sonic project. Hunnid-P’s involvement with Sega does lend a bit of truth to the Sonic Adventure 3 rumor, or at least shows Sega wants to recapture the Adventure games’ essence for the new one.

Right now the Blue Blur is enjoying a U.S. road trip courtesy of Aaron Webber of Ruby Eclipse and Sega’s Online Manager and Media Strategist, Kellie Parker. Could Sonic’ final destination lead to a press conference for the new game? Time will soon tell, if the original rumor is to be believed.

if true

This sounds like exactly where Sega needs to go with the Sonic franchise. BTW, don't sleep on Sonic Generations...best Sonic game since the Genesis era, easily.

People like to bash the Sonic series, and there have been some garbage releases over the past decade but I still have faith. Hopefully this ends up being dope. Spent countless hours playing 1 and 2 on the Dreamcast and Gamecube

i grew up on sonic adventures 1 and 2 my nikka sonic coming back

Sonic been coming hard these days.

Sonic Colors is slept on. If you don't own a Wii, hook up Dolphin on your PC and run that sh1t. Game looks superb in HD and is just like another Sonic Generations.

Sonic Adventure 1 . I freaking loved that game. I played the sh1t out of it but it didn't age well so I can't really go back to it. I really liked the over world hub with levels connecting to each other. It felt like it had life. It was really revolutionary at the time.

As long as there are no levels where you have to play as that fat cat I might check this out.

Let's hope Sega/Sonic Team doesn't drop the ball like nearly every Sonic game since the Dreamcast passed.

They should co-develop Sonic with Nintendo like they did with F-Zero AX/GX.

This is great news, but I wouldn't mind a Sonic Generations 2 either. Too many people slept on that piff.
