It should mark a busy day for gaming news, as Sony also just announced the latest State of Play for later on Tuesday.
As for what could be at the Sonic Central, Sega could always announce new projects, but there are a few things on the docket that we already know about. The most immediate is the impending release of Sonic x Shadow Generations, an enhanced version of 2011’s Sonic Generations featuring new standalone content starring Shadow the Hedgehog. It’ll be available for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Switch, and PC on October 25.
Meanwhile, Sonic Rumble, a new Fall Guys-esque battle royale game, is due out for iOS and Android sometime this winter.
And while the focus will likely be on games, there’s also the burgeoning Sonic Cinematic Universe to think about. Sonic the Hedgehog 3 will hit theaters on December 20, and Paramount Pictures finally unveiled the first trailer for the latest in the live-action movie series earlier this month. It featured the first listen of Keanu Reeves as Shadow, something fans have been eager to hear more of.
Tomorrow’s Sonic Central will livestream on Sonic the Hedgehog’s Twitch and YouTube channels. For more Sonic to sate your appetite in the meantime, check out our Sonic x Shadow Generations interview with Sega from gamescom.
