SEGA president Shuji Utsumi has touched on what's next for the 3D Sonic the Hedgehog series after the reasonably competent Sonic Frontiers. He says that the next game is "quite challenging" for the established company and is naturally a "quite exciting game." He was also asked whether it would be a follow up to Sonic Adventure, to which is replied that the original two games were "a game changer for Sonic." Here's what Mr. Utsumi had to say:
The next one is going to be a quite challenging, quite exciting game that we are working on," he said.
But he would not divulge whether Sega was considering a follow up to the much-loved Sonic Adventure series.
"Sonic Adventure was kind of a game-changer for Sonic," he said.
"When we release it, it should be good, it should be impressive - we need to meet or even exceed people's expectations, so it takes some time."
Part of the series which fans have been clamouring to see return is the Chao Garden - a much-loved virtual pet synonymous with Sonic Adventure.
Mr Utsumi said "we've been talking about it" - but would not go into further detail, only that he could not "say too much about it".
