"Sonic: The Card Game" Announced !



Quote
Steamforged stealth-dropped news about the upcoming Sonic The Card Game at the very bottom of a list of their upcoming releases as part of the virtual GAMA festival currently going on.
The drop doesn't give away many details about the game itself, but we know it's going to be a cross between card game and race, something that makes a lot of sense considering 'gotta go fast' is Sonic's main tagline.

I read it in Steam page it's still in Early Access.
But it's been released years ago (1 Feb, 2017), why is it still in Early Access?

I think it's because it is in a constand state of development. It still works and has all it's features but there's always room for improvement. Honestly, it be nice if the Avatar menu has a search function. Would save me the trouble of having to find Avatars I like by browsing worlds all the time. It's a hassle.

I once had ideas for a Sonic card game. I dunno what I did with it. All I remember is that gold rings serve as "life points" for the player and that each card had Attacks or Abilities to pull off.
I gave up on the idea and now making a card game for Alex Kidd.

I wonder if the new card game will simply be the Sonic X Trading Card Game but based on the games? Or maybe it will cover the various spin-off continuities also.

According to Techraptor, it's possible that the card game might follow a similar vein to Sonic Crash Course, another family-friendly Sonic game that tasks players with racing each other on the tabletop. So may be cards x board game is also possible.

It's still WIP but yes. Wouldn't it be fun to have a tabletop roleplay session for Sonic fans? Something with all the structure and pace of a usual TTRPG, but still feels accurate and to a degree fast pace as a Sonic game!

Yoichi Owaki, Senior Vice-President of SEGA SAMMY HOLDINGS INC.:
"About “Sonic Prime”, we’re not thinking of monetizing by itself.
Our stance is to implement the “Sonic Prime” as part of strengthening the IP."

The fact SOnic Prime is about franchise recognition over monetizating makes me wonder if they will do the whole AoSTH, SatAM dimension hop thing.

AoSTH and Boom may be,
but I doubt for SatAM since SEGA ditched all SatAM related (that explored a lot by Archie Comics) in IDW Comic version.
Probably they want to avoid more lawsuit over Sonic like the one with Ken Penders before.

Sonic, Amy, and Tails are Trapped in Eggman's Version of Battleworld



Quote
Eggman's manipulation of physics, to the point of creating entirely new and completely different places within a single tower, feels like Dr. Doom's Battleworld from Marvel's 2015 Secret Wars series by Jonathan Hickman, Esad Ribić and Ive Svorcina.
Whilst Sonic's world has always been a varied one, it still had a scale of change similar to our own Earth, nothing quite as patchwork as Battleworld.
