Sonic Central Event Unveils Exciting Future Game Projects
Sega's highly anticipated Sonic Central event returns, offering fans an exclusive sneak peek into the exciting new projects and advancements of the beloved Sonic franchise Don't miss out on this epic showcase of the near future of Sonic!
Sega has recently announced Sonic Central 2023, an event that will give fans a glimpse into the future of their beloved franchise featuring the iconic blue hedgehog. This upcoming broadcast marks only the third time Sega has organized such an event. Despite its relatively short history, Sonic Central has already established itself as the largest annual gathering for Sonic-related news. The first edition of the show revealed the best-selling 3D Sonic game of all time along with numerous other exciting announcements. Last year's broadcast was equally impressive, offering a sneak peek into Sonic Prime, a Netflix-produced series, as well as unveiling new details about Sonic Origins and more than 20 other exciting reveals.
The upcoming Sonic Central 2023 will be held on Friday, June 23, starting at 8 a.m. PST. Like previous editions, fans of the Sonic franchise can watch the event on YouTube and Twitch. While Sega hasn't provided specific details about the broadcast's content, they have promised a "sneak peek" of upcoming Sonic projects. One highly anticipated game that is likely to be featured is Sonic Superstars, especially since it was recently announced at the 2023 Summer Game Fest in early June.

Given the significance of the date, which coincides with the 32nd anniversary of the original Sonic the Hedgehog game for the Sega Genesis, it is highly likely that Sonic Central will feature a special announcement to commemorate this occasion. While Sonic Team head Takashi Iizuka has teased that 2023 will be a monumental year for Sonic, there has been limited information regarding the franchise's immediate plans, aside from the announcement of Sonic Superstars. Therefore, it is reasonable to expect that the June 23 event will bring about significant changes and updates.
On another note, some fans may be hopeful for an announcement regarding a crossover between Angry Birds and Sonic at the 2023 Sonic Central, considering Sega's pending acquisition of Rovio. However, it is important to note that the $776 million transaction has yet to be finalized. Although there are no expected regulatory challenges, it is unlikely that Sega would publicly commit to a project involving Rovio's intellectual property before the acquisition is officially completed. Therefore, it is uncertain if such a collaboration is currently being developed.
