Description 2017 was a pretty busy year for Sonic since we had 2 new Sonic games (quality may vary), Sonic Boom season 2 continued and concluded, and we came to the end of the Archie comics. So what do I think we could come to expect out of Sonic in 2018? well aside from a few things, I actually think there's not going to be a whole lot this year. Now for the record the reception of Sonic Forces has little to do with this, cause even if that game was receieved much better, my preditctions wouldn't be that much different. I believe 2018's going to be the same as 2015 where we don't get any big retail Sonic games, and at best we'll get a few mobile games and an announcment for a game coming in 2019. Why do I think this? well I feel after a year as big as 2017, Sega and Sonic Team might want to use 2018 as a rest year so they could use the time to think about what to improve apon in the next Sonic game, as well as give other Sonic developers like the Mania team plenty of time to work on their own Sonic games (if they're actually in development of course). Really the biggest things we're going to get out of Sonic this year is the launch of the new IDW comics, and if we're really lucky we could even get a sneak preview of the upcoming movie supposedly releasing next year. Would it be cool if I was wrong and 2018 turned out to be a really big year for Sonic? sure I suppose. But I just feel after coming from a big year like 2017, it may be for the best that we lower our expectations and just do exactly what Sonic's doing in the meme i'm using.

They are seriously making a Sonic the Hedgehog movie?  Will Michael Bay be directing it?  It sounds like something he would do.  His tacky explosions my save Sonic plot wise.  Ugh.

Here are some predictions of what I think might happen this year.


IDW Sonic the Hedgehog comicbook series launched (obviously)

Sonic Boom getting either renewed for another season (which I hope so) or cancelled

A spinoff game announced and scheduled to be released this year (IF Sonic Boom is renewed, it’ll probably be another tie-in game to it)

Hopefully more information on the live-action 2019 movie (and possibly a tie-in game with it)

A mainstream game announced for 2019 release

Maybe a SEGA Superstars/All-Stars game

New content for Sonic Dash 1 & 2


I think that’s about it. I’ll be rather surprised if any of the least likely things to happen, actually end up happening. I also imagine that after the launch of IDW’s Sonic the Hedgehog comics, we’ll get more comic spinoffs from them.

Also: 2018 is slated to be the launch of a new comic book company for Sonic - IDW Publishing - and I hope Sally Acorn and her Freedom Fighter partners make it to IDW Sonic!

After what happened in 2017... Yeah.

like I said before, it was a mixed year for the Blue blur.  Holy Shit though, the internet war was bad.

Yep! Massive conflict within the Sonic fanbase from mid-2017 to late-2017.

Though we could expect another Sonic Boom game to help fill the next possibly large gap
