It appears we are approaching something big for the Sonic franchise. According to the Sonic team’s head member Takashi Iizuka, 2021 is going to be the next big year for the franchise. The news was given out when he spoke to GameInformer’s Brian Shea at E3 last week.



Iizuka stated that “2017 was a big year for Sonic,” Iizuka says. “The next big year for Sonic is 2021. That’s the 30-year anniversary for Sonic. We are now preparing.”. This likely means a few things, among those being that the next big game in the series he teased at South by Southwest earlier this year will likely be releasing that same year. I imagine this will be large news for any fan of the Sonic franchise. What else is in store for that year remains to be seen, but expect another surprise or two coming from the team’s way.



Team Sonic Racing, the latest game in the franchise, is available now on PC, PS4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch. You can read our review of the game here.
