This latest 2D take on the Sonic formula is heading to PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S and Switch and its big focus is on co-operative multiplayer with up to 3 friends.

In addition to the new trailer and release date, Sonic Superstars will have a digital deluxe edition that will include a set of Lego Sonic skins, a rabbit skin based on one of Sonic’s original character designs, a Mecha Sonic skin for use in battle mode, a digital art book, a digital mini soundtrack and bonus wallpapers for use of the main menu. The standard edition of the game also comes with some bonuses: a Lego Eggman skin, an acrylic display stand and a reversible cover with alternative artwork.
SEGA’s legacy franchise channel SEGA Forever have revealed that they have managed to find and restore the original Sonic the Hedgehog statue that stood in the SEGAWorld venue in the Trocadero in central London.
The statue was rescued and stored by the company Proun. A user on SEGA Forever’s Discord called Ted Haydon made SEGA aware of the statue’s current location which started the process of bringing the statue back to SEGA to be restored. The restoration was completed by the company 13 Finger FX.
The SEGAWorld Sonic statue is now going on tour and will be on the show flow at this year’s Gamescom from the 23rd to the 27th of August 2023 at SEGA’s booth.

The SEGA Forever channel has released 3 high quality screenshots of the cancelled SEGA Saturn game Sonic X-Treme. SEGA Forever have explained that these screenshots were sent to press for use in magazines and various promotional material.
Sonic X-Treme was being developed at the SEGA Technical Institute from 1994 to 1996 with Chris Senn as lead designer. The game was supposed to be launched for the holiday season of 1996, but due to various issues it was cancelled and replaced with a port of Sonic 3D: Flickies’ Island.
You can browse all 3 screenshots via the thumbnails below:

LEGO content will be added to Sonic Superstars featuring Sonic the Hedgehog and Dr. Eggman minifigs. Pre-ordering the game now gives players access to an exclusive Dr. Eggman character skin. A trailer showing the Sonic and Eggman minifigs in action can be seen below:
It is currently not clear as to what this LEGO content in Sonic Superstars will entail. While the trailer showcases Sonic and Eggman minifigs, it’s only the Eggman one that is currently confirmed as a character skin at the time of writing. Hopefully the DLC will extend to more than just character skins but we’ll have to wait and see.

Sonic Prime returns to Netflix with new episodes on July 13th 2023. Co-producers Wildbrain previously announced that the show will run for 24 episodes and currently only 8 have aired, debuting back in December 2022. Netflix have not revealed how many episodes will drop on July 13th, but I think it’s safe to assume it will be another 8.
You can check out a brand new trailer for the next batch of episodes by clicking the embed below:
Sonic Prime sees Sonic and the gang flung across multiple dimensions when Sonic shatters the Paradox Prism. It’s up to Sonic and company to restore the prism to seal the rift between dimensions and make their way home. Sonic is voiced by Deven Mack.
