There has been a lot of talk about a Sonic Adventure remake these past couple of years. Fans are getting awfully excited about the next Sonic the Hedgehog game announcement. However, one thing that seems kind of obvious is that a remake of Sonic Adventure is in development due to the amount of Sonic Adventure related memes and posts official Sonic social media sites like Sonic Twitter, Instagram and Facebook have been sharing these past few months.

Recently, on SEGA announced a new toy line of Sonic the Hedgehog TUBBZ ducks. This picture shows Sonic and Dr. Eggman. But something is off putting about the whole ordeal.

The TUBBZ are sitting in the area near Tails’ workshop in Mystic Ruins. Mystic Ruins was a main adventure field in the first Sonic Adventure game. However, not only that, the background that they used looks newly rendered too.

The Sonic TUBBZ ducks also resemble the Adventure-era design, especially the one of Eggman. Sonic here is shown as his classic Sonic design, curiously.

Which makes us wonder, why is this such an oddly placed area to put these ducks? Why can’t they just be in a pond or at another water heavy Sonic stage? (There was a waterfall area in Mystic Ruins, but they are clearly placed outside Tails’ workshop).

Is SEGA hinting at something?

A call to remake Sonic Adventure for modern consoles has been heavily requested by fans in the past couple of years and even Sonic Team director Takashi Iizuka expressed interest at doing a remake of the game recently.

Next year is Sonic’s 30th anniversary, so it would make sense if SEGA did some kind of celebratory game again like they did with Sonic Generations, but maybe this time focusing more on the Sonic Adventure era? Whatever the outcome, it’s an oddly specific choice to put these Sonic toys in Mystic Ruins.

2017’s Sonic Mania was announced in a similar way before via a major online social media campaign from the official Sonic the Hedgehog accounts.

Please remember, this is speculation and has not been confirmed by official sources.
