Following many years of less-than-stellar releases, Sonic the Hedgehog seems to have had a resurgence of sorts – with the likes of Sonic Frontiers, Sonic Superstars and the two theatrical releases putting the Blue Blur back on the map. SEGA seems to have more big plans for Sonic, as detailed in a leaked presentation from SEGA of America themselves.

As first shared by Reddit user ‘Vilkam’, a document claiming to be a presentation from SEGA of America highlights many of the publisher’s future plans for the company’s mascot Sonic the Hedgehog.

According to the leak, Sonic’s next mainline entry following 2022’s Sonic Frontiers is planned to release some time during Holiday 2024 – with a prologue of sorts arriving in the months prior to the full games’ release.

That is not all however, as the Blue Blur will also make an appearance on mobile devices in 2024, with a new game said to be releasing on the platform next year. Even during Sonic’s worst years, the hedgehog has found a great deal of success on mobile – with the likes of Sonic Dash and Sonic Dash 2: Sonic Boom both surpassing 100 million downloads on Android alone.

Finally, the leaked presentation claimed that the recently-released 2D platformer ‘Sonic Superstars’ will get some form of DLC at an unspecified time in the future. DLC has become a common practice for many Sonic titles, and so this does not come as a massive surprise.

Still, for fans of Sonic the Hedgehog, it seems as though SEGA has found a comfortable rhythm and cadence with which to release new titles. It will be interesting to see what the Holiday 2024 title looks like.
