In a surprise announcement, Sega has revealed that an HD remaster of Sonic Advance (2002), named Sonic X Cream Advance, is in development. Taking after last year’s Sonic X Shadow Generations, Sonic X Cream Advance brings back the original game made for the Game Boy Advance, the very first original Sonic game on a non-Sega platform following Sega’s exit from the console market. The game will be rebuilt from the ground up in up to 4K resolution on all platforms supporting it with rebuilt physics and new animated cutscenes, all very much in the style of Sonic Origins.
Cream the Rabbit, who would not be introduced until this original game’s sequel, will star in the game as a new 5th playable character with all new levels meant to be traversed exclusively by her and her reliable Chao companion Cheese. These portions of the game will also feature a brand new story written by Ian Flynn, in order to tie the previously non-canon Sonic Advance into the Sonic timeline officially. No story details other than that have been revealed so far.
For more info on this exciting news, check in after the break.
Sonic X Cream Advance is coming soon to PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch 2, Steam, and SegaOS for the new Sega Teradeck. A release date had not yet been revealed, but keep it here at Segabits to hear more information as it comes… in Advance.
Get it? Advance? Cause, you know… it’s Sonic Advance…? And it was, y’know… a Game Boy Advance game? And when you hear news before the game comes out, then you’re hearing it… in advance? Eh? You know, cause “in advance” means ahead of time? Pretty funny, right? Yeah? I know. I crack myself up sometimes. Anyway, laugh in the comments below.

Your joking, right? of course your joking. there’s no way the most disrespected character in sonic (and my favorite character of all time) would be getting the special treatment all of a sudden. she will forever be in everyone’s shadow and will never be able to have her time to shine. as much as I want it, it’s sadly not going to happen…
sadly I agree with you. Cream is such a precious cinnamon roll… She deserves so much better! Cosmo too! Poor Tails deserved her. sadly that’ll never happen do to some rights b.s…. within sega no less! At least they implied she would come back at the end of sonic x and therefore would lead to a probable tearful reunion between her and the fox boy. so there’s that I guess. sigh
Also. sega. why haven’t we got a re-release of the sonic advance trilogy plus battle on modern platforms? The opportunity is right there on your lap!! smh…
Sadly
