Here we go, Sonic fans. The stream is here, and SEGA is ready to show us what they've got. Stay tuned for the full announcement coverage.

There will be a musical event for the Sonic series on June 23rd, for the 30th anniversary.

Tokyo 2020 Olympics will feature a Sonic costume that your characters can wear. Launches June 22nd.

Two Point Hospital will have a Sonic pack.

Lost Judgement will have Sonic the Fighters be playable in-game.

Sonic Colors is back. Sonic Colors Ultimate launches September 7th, for Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and Nintendo Switch. It will also be on PC, as an Epic Games Store exclusive.

A new project called Sonic Colors: Rise of the Wisps will be a short two-episode animation special to promote the launch of Sonic Colors Ultimate. Sort of like Sonic Mania Adventures, the animation is 2D, and features Roger Craig Smith as the voice of Sonic once more. Episode 1 will be out this summer.

​

Just as the rumors foretold, Sonic Origins is teased, compiling the first five classic Sonic games, with a major reveal that they're finally addressing Sonic 3 and Sonic & Knuckles, which will be part of the collection. More information is coming later this year. There will be extra additions and inclusions, though they were not specified. It'll have Sonic 1, 2, 3, Knuckles, and CD.

Sonic 1, 2, and CD appear to be the Taxman versions, or at least feature widescreen support. However, Sonic 3's short footage shows it running at 4:3, unchanged from its original release.

UPDATE: Sonic 3 & Knuckles confirmed to be in 16:9 widescreen - see threadmark.

Sonic Racing for mobile adds classic Sonic.

SEGA discusses how Sonic games are coming to Amazon Luna and PlayStation Now.

The cartoon show Sonic Prime is the next topic. Sonic Prime will premiere next year. It takes place in the Shatterverse.

SEGA plans to release all sorts of toys and merch for the 30th anniversary. There's even jewelry.

Last but not least is the final tease...2022 will be when the next Sonic game launches, for last and current gen platforms. Xbox One, Series X|S, Switch, PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5.The short trailer shows Sonic running in a forest, using some sort of powers. No gameplay is shown. The title may be Sonic Zap, though it's uncertain.

UPDATE: The social media manager for the Sonic Twitter account confirmed that Sonic 3 will get the widescreen treatment.

When a fanmade project seems more enticing than the real thing? You know something is wrong. An interesting event, but not THAT interesting. Is Colors really what they went with? Was it that good of a game? I don't think so.

No SA3, I guess?

On further investigation, the 3 clips of 3&K in the trailer appear to be from completely different sources (scaled very differently) so it appears they're just pulled from archive footage rather than whatever state (if any) the game is currently in.

GIVE ME HOPE GOD DAMN IT

As long as is not delisted from nintendo switch, they are already doing better than Nintendo.

But at the same time, Only those 4 games matter out of the early 1990s? (No rare game, SONIC ERASER HINT) Not even other rare games like the sonic arcade game, (or knuckles chaotix)

The sonic central stream is the most disappointing thing since my son

 

[SexiestManAlive]

tf is a shatterverse?

 

[Pipistrele]

Probably not the effect they went for, but it was pretty funny

 

[Deleted member 560282]

This was... disappointing

3 AND KNUX RECONIZED LETS GOOOOOOOOO

 

[ShadowOne333]

Awwww no Adventure 1&2 HD for Switch or modern consoles? :/
Was hoping for it.

Anyway, Sonic Origins sure looks cool, and they seem to be the Taxman versions, so even better.
I hope S3&K get the same treatment, or at least they work out a 16:9 hack of it.

your son after reading this:

Thought sega said they had something exciting.

Thats was a bag of wank, and the video kept saying exciting.

What is exciting about a few sonic dlc packs for the odd game, an old port and yet again another retro collection.

All that to "celebrate" 30 years, think someone needs firing.

I loved Sonic Colors, probably one my more favorite sonic games. However, for it to be shown as this...eh.

UPDATE!

Sonic 3 & Knuckles WILL be in remastered widescreen! Whether or not it's by Taxman and/or Stealth is still unknown! Social media and brand influencer @KatieChrz confirmed on Twitter.

Been seeing quite a few of you asking about Sonic 3 & Knuckles in Sonic Origins and whether or not we will see the game in widescreen there.

Just to clear that up...YES! Sonic 3 will also be widescreen!

If they just use an emulator and stretch it to fill 16:9 I swear to fuck....
