In late July, Sonic Team noted that it had not released a new traditional Sonic title since 2022’s Sonic Frontiers and signaled that a sequel could be announced at upcoming events such as Gamescom or the Tokyo Game Show. The studio also highlighted ongoing post‑launch support for Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds, confirming a second season.

A week later, director Takashi Iizuka reaffirmed the franchise’s 35th‑anniversary push, citing recent releases—including Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds, the Classic Sonic Collection, and the Modern Sonic Collection—and stating that additional surprises are slated for future showcases like Gamescom, the Tokyo Game Show, and The Game Awards. Together, the snapshots show Sonic Team’s continued investment in new Sonic content and remasters ahead of the anniversary celebrations.
