“It was originally slated for release in 2021 for Sonic’s 30th anniversary. but we postponed it for a year to further improve the quality. We carried out regular reviews to improve the quality of the title before its release, such as setting up game tests based on external reviews. I have a feeling it will turn out to be a good game and I have high expectations for it. We ask for your patience until a future announcement to find out the details, but this is an uncompromising title in terms of quality that has taken on many new challenges.“, commented Haruki Satomi to the shareholders.
