Exclusive Insider Reveals Mind-Blowing News for Die-Hard Sega and Sonic Enthusiasts!

Rumor has it that Sega is planning to release a fresh Sonic the Hedgehog game in 2024, as well as introducing new games from the Jet Set, Comix Zone, and Guardian Heroes franchises. Sega has been consistently launching new Sonic the Hedgehog games, although there was a break in the main series platformers after Sonic Mania and Sonic Forces in 2017.

Speaking of 2D Sonic the Hedgehog games, Sonic Mania received high praise from both fans and critics. In contrast, the 3D platformer Sonic Forces garnered mixed to negative reviews. Despite various Sonic-related media and games being released between 2017 and 2022, there were no new 2D or 3D platformers from the main series until Sonic Frontiers arrived in 2022. This open world Sonic the Hedgehog game received mixed reviews from critics, but it undeniably has its dedicated fanbase and even earned a nomination at The Game Awards 2022.

The upcoming Sonic Superstars game, a 2D platformer offering 4-player co-op, has garnered favorable early reviews. However, only time will reveal if it lives up to the expectations of fans. Meanwhile, there are reports of a new Sonic game slated for release in 2024. This information comes from reliable leaker Im a Hero Too, who recently shared various intriguing Sega-related news. While no further details were provided about the specific nature of the new Sonic the Hedgehog game, Im a Hero Too did mention that Jet Set, Comix Zone, and Guardian Heroes will also receive some form of representation in 2024.

Assuming the leaked information is accurate, one must speculate on the type of Sonic game Sega will release in 2024. It may potentially be another 2D Sonic the Hedgehog game, although that seems a bit soon with Sonic Superstars launching in October. A more plausible scenario is that it will be a Sonic spin-off game or a direct sequel to Sonic Frontiers. Ultimately, Sonic enthusiasts will have to patiently wait and see if these rumors hold true and manage their expectations in the meantime.

Moreover, the same leak also disclosed some insights into the future plans of Sega's subsidiary, Atlus. If the leaked information is reliable, Persona 6 is currently under development, but its release won't be in 2024 as some previously assumed. Additionally, Atlus is reportedly working on a Persona party game, but the leaker did not provide any further details about this project.
