"The trophy from Famitsu Dengeki Game Awards 2022 that SEGA received for "Sonic Frontier" the other day has arrived at SEGA's office🏆Once again, thank you very much for your support for this work🙇Please look forward to future free large-scale updates✨"
For those unfamiliar, The Murder of Sonic the Hedgehog is a murder mystery/visual novel game that surprise launched on Steam just before April Fools' Day 2023. In the game, which is free, it is Amy Rose's birthday and she's hosting a murder mystery party that has Sonic becoming the victim. However, things quickly start feeling a bit strange.It's then your job, as a new character, to interrogate Sonic's friends and try to get to the bottom of this mystery on the train known as the Mirage Express.
Steam actually has two separate trackers and they have their own ways of weighing reviews, though both still place the game within the top 100.SteamDB currently has The Murder Of Sonic The Hedgehog in 61st place overall, higher than any other Sega game.Steam250, on the other hand, charts it at 98th place at the time of writing. Still higher than the rest of the Sonic series (in fact, no other Sonic game sits in the top 250), but below the likes of Persona 5 Royal (93rd place) and Persona 4 Golden (65th place). Although it’s debatable whether Atlus’ stuff should be considered seperately.
SEGA seeks to utilize Rovio's live-service expertise to bring SEGA's "current and new titles to the global mobile gaming market" + expand trans-media opportunities.The Acquisition is expected to close in the second quarter of FY2024/3 and is contingent on the completion of reviews under applicable antitrust laws and other customary conditions.
Those 4 Grand Awards are in the mobile game category including Best Animation, Best Art Direction, Best Character Design, and Best Visual Art – plus a Gold Award for Best Puzzle Game!

The Japanese version has the correct figure). According to the company, the conversion of its current IPs into global IPs is progressing and the growth strategy is moving to the next stage.
