According to a new report from industry insider V Scooper, the Sonic the Hedgehog game is aiming to be the biggest original title in the series to date and is targeting a release in 2027. This would put it about five years after Sonic Frontiers. In the modern industry, five years is a very standard amount of development time, especially for a game that is supposedly ambitious by the standards of the team. In fact, the report describes the ambition as attempting to create something that will stand alongside the biggest releases of the year.
First Details on New Sonic Game
Adding to the information above, V Scooper claims there will be a stronger focus on story compared to previous games and more connection to the upcoming movies. To this end, there will be a large ensemble cast. Lastly, it is claimed that the game is being built for long-term support, which may suggest some type of live service element, though if this were the case, it presumably would be specified as such. To this end, it is not exactly clear what is meant by this.
