A credible Sega insider has revealed some promising information regarding the future of the Sonic the Hedgehog franchise and how it's intended to be handled going forward.
After years of somewhat divisive installments in the iconic video game series, this news is likely to excite many Sonic the Hedgehog fans who have been longing for further, more tangible investments in the franchise from Sega.
Having maintained its cultural relevancy for over 30 years, the Sonic franchise is arguably Sega's most prized possession to this day.
The popularity of the series has spiked in recent years, in large part because of the box office success of Paramount's Sonic the Hedgehog movies and the commercial hit that was Sonic Frontiers.
In spite of that, though, Sonic has yet to reach the near-universal acclaim that the series once had during the 90s. Since the late 2000s, many titles in the franchise have been met with mixed-to-positive reception at best and widespread negative reviews at worst.
