CALLING ALL SONIC THE HEDGEHOG FANS! Unfortunate, catastrophic news is upon us once again. That’s right Sonic fans, sadly this is not a drill, this is not a prank: a new Sonic the Hedgehog game is coming out.
We didn’t think it would happen either, but this terrible, devastating announcement is sure to rock the Sonic fandom even further. Today, everyone who is a longtime fan of the Sonic franchise is undoubtedly disheartened to learn that their favorite game series is getting a new installment.
Just when you thought you were safe, Sonic Team rolled out the red carpet for a brand new video game starring your favorite character, much to the entire Sonic fandom’s chagrin. We’re sorry we have to break the news to you, but another Sonic game is already in the pipeline.
There’s nothing you can do. If you’re a devoted Sonic fan, you’ve already suffered through Sonic game after Sonic game, taking your lumps for the last twenty years hoping to get back to the good old days. There are upswings, sure, but for every Sonic Mania, there’s ten Sonic Forces.
But you’re not a Sonic fan because you like the games. You’re not a Sonic fan because you like the character. You’re a Sonic fan because it’s who you are, for better or for worse. Sometimes for better, but mostly for worse. But before you lay down to rest once and for all, clench your teeth and brace your body: another Sonic game is sadly getting made.
Keep your chin up, Sonic fans. It’s not all bad. Sure the games, the fandom, and the company itself are a cesspool that’s beyond repair. But you do have some things. Like…hmm. I wanna say the Sonic movie was okay? Knuckles is in it!
