SEGA is “considering” remakes and reboots of Sonic games

Following many years of less-than-stellar releases, SEGA and Sonic Team seem to have gotten back on track when it comes to creating and publishing high quality Sonic the Hedgehog experiences. According to the company’s President and Chief Operations Officer Yukio Sugino “in parallel with the new [Sonic] game, we are considering reboots and remakes.”

SEGA President and Chief Operations Officer Yukio Sugino recently sat down with Japanese publication Famitsu to discuss the upcoming Samba De Amigo: Party Central – a pseudo-reboot of the 1999 classic rhythm game.

In discussing the concept of reboots and remakes, (as translated by DualShockers) Sugino stated that “Of course, we have to do new things, but as with all IPs, we don't have new works or reboots. We will develop while selecting which is appropriate at this timing for each IP, such as ‘This is the best way to do this IP'. ‘Sonic' is also SEGA's signature IP, and in parallel with the new game, we are considering reboots and remakes.”

The concept of what constitutes a remake has been a rather contentious topic in the past. That said, a number of Sonic titles have technically been remade previously, including the RetroEngine versions of 1991’s Sonic the Hedgehog (and its sequels). With other SEGA properties starting to be remade (i.e. Persona 3), it will be interesting to see whether we will ever get a Sonic Unleashed or Adventure remake.
