Sonic 2022 has a pleasant ring to it (ha), however in keeping with Sonic producer Takashi Iizuka (who has labored on the collection since Sonic 3), this 12 months would be the “largest 12 months” for the character to this point.

Talking to Twinfinite, Iizuka elaborates on his declare:

“We imagine that 2022 goes to be the largest 12 months for Sonic. We’ve got plenty of nice issues that we’ve achieved this 12 months and plenty of nice issues for the long run as nicely. The success of film two has been actually superb and it actually introduced lots of people into the viewers. So we thank everybody for having fun with film two. We had the discharge of Sonic Origins proper after that. We’ve got the discharge of Sonic Frontiers developing on November 8, and we even have the Netflix TV present, Sonic Prime, developing this winter.”

“The Netflix present” is none apart from Sonic Prime, which is rumored to be out in December of this 12 months (and the entire “winter” assertion helps reconfirm that). That quick listing above additionally doesn’t account for another Sonic-related happenings, so let’s recap them under.

What does 2022 have in retailer for Sonic?

From a broader perspective, I can simply see what he’s saying. Sonic Origins didn’t have the perfect launch, and Frontiers actually has an uphill battle to show itself, particularly after Forces. However for those who rely the vast success of the Sonic 2 movie and add in a significant Netflix collection on the way in which, issues get a bit extra thrilling for Sonic followers as a complete.
