Comment from Sonic Series Producer at SEGA, Takashi Iizuka

“Since its launch in April, Sonic Speed Simulator has seen a massively positive response from the global Roblox community, and I’m so happy to see a new fanbase growing in the Metaverse. With Sonic’s popularity spreading around the world with audiences both young and old following the release of the film series, I hope that more fans will enjoy the world of Sonic with the release of Sonic Frontiers later this year!”

The next wave of Jakks Pacific’s 4” figures come out next month, and we’ve finally got some images!
This wave has some of Sonic’s less popular friends.
Amongst the modern characters, we’ve got Amy Rose and Vector the Crocodile, and for the classic characters we have yet another Classic Sonic, and…Ray the Flying Squirrel!

Hopefully this means more quality events in the future than just collecting crap lying around the place.

Based on the article, it just means that they decided to release the Japanese version of it for Japanese fans.
It wasn't before.

Also came up with Espio, but you wouldn't find him since he's in invisible mode.

Sonic Frontiers' Cyberspace zones intentionally reuses levels from previous games







Quote
Cyberspace zones are what Iizuka describes as "the digital expression of the worlds in the memories of Sonic the Hedgehog."
So when you go into the portal, he says, "it's a world that's created from Sonic's memories, the places that he's been to like Sanctuary, Green Hill, and so on - Cyberspace is creating a world based off of his memories.

It looks so cool! But given it reminds me of Lyoko, sI still think Sonic might be in some sort of digital world. Especially given there's no real explanation how he shoots slices from his hands.

I admit it's kinda cheap them copy-pasting stages from...what I presume from Sonic Generations.
But I'm glad Sonic Engine 2 is able to handle them now given I've complained in the past why Sonic Forces couldn't simply be recycled from Sonic Generations.
Plus, it proves my point that Sonic Generations is best modern Sonic game if Sonic Team are copying from their own homework.

Still, I'm hoping for some original Cyber Space stages.

ALso, what are your thoughts on Koco? They remind me of a cross between Koroks and Gyroids.

Guess Sonic learned ninjutsu from Espio.

May be like what Flash does.
When he moves his hands so fast, some kind of wind energy came out from them.

"Summer Sonic"
is a Japan event,
some kind a big music festival, a major one in Japan.
The use of "Sonic" name was just a coincidence back then,
didn't have relation with our beloved Sonic the Hedgehog.
But then SEGA became one of the sponsors of the event,
and Sonic the Hedgehog started showing up there.





Not to be mistaken with SEGA of Europe's "Summer of Sonic" of course.
I don't think it'll happen this year.

I like those Koco.
And yeah their expression look like Gyroid
Koco might be replacement of Chao or Tim in this world, but without the raising mini games.
We uses to find Chao everywhere in SA1 and SA2 or Tim everywhere in Balan Wonderworld.

It has References to Sonic, Golden Axe, and Alien Soldier.

Uncle has just bought "SEGA Mega Drive" with his income as a YouTuber.
While playing the game, he triumphantly explains how to defeat the enemy.
He says that the experience he gained from playing SEGA games was useful even in a different world, and he begins to talk about when he cooperated with the novice adventurer Alicia and her party to subjugate a horde of goblins.
On the other hand, Takafumi, who goes out to deliver Fujimiya's smartphone she forgot to bring, witnesses Fujimiya walking with a Yankee.
He borrows the power of magic from her uncle and goes to help, but...
