Though the summer time of gaming showcases wrapped up with displays from Nintendo and Restricted Run Video games this week, Sonic the Hedgehog followers had been hoping to see Sega air one in all its Sonic Central showcases, particularly with it being Sonic’s birthday on June 23. Sadly, the corporate has lately confirmed it has no such presentation deliberate in any respect this month.

As noticed by Sonic Stadium, social media and group supervisor Katie Chrzanowski made some extent of confirming this throughout a latest livestream to rejoice the anniversary of the Sonic sequence. That’s to not say there couldn’t be one later within the 12 months however, for now, “There’s not one taking place this month… We don’t have information on when a Sonic Central goes to be.”

You possibly can’t blame followers for anticipating a Sonic showcase of some type in June contemplating Sega has been holding them recurrently the previous few years, with final 12 months’s one even happening on Sonic’s birthday. Admittedly, these showcases don’t fairly rival the hype of a Nintendo Direct, however they’ve nonetheless provided some neat updates on no matter Sonic associated tasks have been within the pipeline.

The second half of 2024 is slated to be a giant one for the franchise since not solely is there a remaster of Sonic Generations popping out in October, however the third live-action film is scheduled for December. And each of those tasks will prominently function fan-favourite Shadow the Hedgehog, who’s making fairly the comeback this 12 months. Admittedly, Sega debuted a brand new trailer and additional particulars on Sonic X Shadow Generations throughout Summer season Recreation Fest this month. As a lot as I wish to see much more of that recreation, we’ve most likely had our fill in the meanwhile. Nevertheless, particulars on the third film are shockingly slim; there hasn’t even been a correct trailer for it, that means we all know subsequent to nothing about its common plot. A short trailer was proven to attendees at CinemaCon in April, nevertheless it was by no means uploaded afterwards for everybody else to see.

Even when a Sonic Central had taken place this month, although, it’s unlikely it could’ve included a film trailer based mostly on earlier showcases. The primary film had already premiered earlier than the primary Sonic Central ever aired, and the second film’s debut trailer was proven throughout The Recreation Awards 2021. As such, any June Sonic Central could have teased the upcoming film, however not shared any main information about it. Though this solely begs the query of when and the place Sega and Paramount meant on speaking concerning the film, particularly with it popping out in six months.
