Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds announced for 2025 – All-Stars return?

by

Sonic returns to the race track with Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds, a new entry in the Sonic racing series which was revealed at The Game Awards. Due out in 2025, little is known about the game aside from the fact that Shadow locks his car and the game will feature portals to other worlds. The end of the trailer appears to play the SEGA Saturn Japanese startup sound, perhaps a not to Sonic R or that the series will jump around Sonic’s racing history as well as other SEGA titles.

Project Century revealed as new title from Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio

by

Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio has another game up their sleeve at The Game Awards, and unlike Virtua Fighter it appears to be a brand new original title. Project Century, which is more than likely a placeholder, takes place in 1915 Japan. Though based on the clothing, architecture and presence of some supernatural elements it’s not the one from our own history. The game features the studio’s trademark over the top combat, though this time it is a lot more bloody than most titles from the studio. Not much more was revealed, but we’re intrigued and can’t wait to learn more!

by

Sonic the Hedgehog 3 (the movie, not the Genesis video game) is less than a month away, and promotion has kicked into high gear with in-person events, weird press kits and soundtrack reveals. In the case of the latter, Paramount has debuted a new song from country music artist Jelly Roll entitled “Run It”. The Song is set to be included on the Sonic 3 movie soundtrack, but whether it is the end credits song has yet to be confirmed. However, given past end credit songs had debuts around this time before their respective movie’s release, it is likely that “Run It” is joining the ranks of “Speed Me Up” and “Stars In The Sky”.
