Sonic Frontiers Writer Teases Changes To Eggman's Story
Sonic Frontiers writer Ian Flynn recently confirmed that the nefarious Dr. Eggman will return, though in a way fans might not expect. The mustachioed mad genius has been a constant menace to Sonic since the very first Sonic The Hedgehog game, with the Blue Blur and his many allies usually working to stop his schemes of world domination. Sometimes Eggman finds himself forced to team up with Sonic and company to take on a greater threat, as was the case in modern installments like Sonic Adventure 2, but he is more often than not the one who unleashes said threats in the first place — only to have them escalate beyond his control later on.
Many fans naturally expect Dr. Eggman to have a similar role in the upcoming Sonic Frontiers, though the evil-but-surprisingly-romantic scientist has been completely absent from the game’s promotional material since SEGA formally announced Sonic Frontiers during the 2021 Game Awards in December. While Sonic was shown battling robotic enemies in the recent Sonic Frontiers gameplay trailers, these foes seem much darker than Dr. Eggman’s usual Badnik designs — though this doesn’t necessarily mean he didn’t create them. Fan-favorite Sonic The Hedgehog voice actor Mike Pollock confirmed that he will still play Dr. Eggman in any future games early last year, and one of the creative talents behind Sonic Frontiers just revealed that the not-so-good doctor will indeed appear in Sonic’s latest adventure.
