RUMOUR: An Android Mobile Game Called “Sonic Runners Adventure” Coming Soon?

It’s very rare that a rumor seems credible to the point where an article is written, but here we are.

“RUMORS: #SEGA and GameLoft are preparing a new game called #Sonic Adventure Runners. Waiting for official acknowledgement” is what the tweet says, who originally broke the news on Twitter. Their source goes to this thread, which contains more information. If this rumor is true, a new mobile game called “Sonic Runners Adventure” or “Sonic Adventure Runners” is on the horizon, and official acknowledgement may be coming soon. The game is being developed by SEGA and GameLoft, who made the mobile ports of Sonic & SEGA All-Stars Racing and Sonic Unleashed, along with the 2010 HD remake of Earthwork Jim. The game is a “runner” genre game, which may run on Java ME. The RLS date is listed as “soon”. It is being developed for Android. There was even some images found. We won’t include those, just in case there are legal problems, but the banners indicate a large presence of Modern Sonic.

This whole thing may have origins from this thread, where the discussion started. Originally, there was rumored info on a GameLoft mobile game called “Sonic Boom” from 3 years ago. Is this related? No way of knowing for sure right now, but people in the thread are speculating that a name change may have happened. Was this originally supposed to be a Sonic Boom mobile game that changed to a main series one? Many questions are unanswered, but first things first: the game itself. Nothing from SEGA about this, so obviously it’s a rumor. However, there’s nothing that raises suspicion about this at all. It’s…something. We don’t know for sure yet that this game is real, but if so, things could get interesting soon. Stay tuned.

  2. Amazing absolutely amazing Gameloft and reusing the Runners name despite the original being such a massive failure that Sega itself publicly admitted that it was one before killing it two “great” tastes that will surely go great together! The FAQ on Gameloft’s mentions a lot of Runners’ mechanics so I’d say this is Sega canning Runners but seeing value in it’s design that Sonic Team crippled with it’s inept updates so they’ve handed it off to one of the biggest players on the mobile game market to fix up.

    1. Sonic Runners was another failure for SEGA to try to make up what they did. I’m 75% sure that they could make another Sonic mobile game that looks like sonic 4 if they make episode 3.

  3. It’d be interesting if they actually are making an improved version of Sonic Runners, that game was fun, but it had lots of problems that needed to be addressed by someone who actually knows how to balance a game like that much better. But whether it is a revamped Runners or not, I think we can all agree on one thing…DO NOT BRING THAT ROULETTE BACK, I’M SICK AND TIRED OF HAVING TO GAMBLE FOR JUST ONE CHARACTER, JUST SELL ME THE DAMN CHARACTERS AND BE DONE WITH IT!!

  4. I have some news for you: THE ROULETTE ISN’T COMING BACK, the faq says other characters are bought via rings.

  5. Honestly If they had not included the spike update in 2.0 in the old Runners the game would’ve probably been better received, or at least taking longer to fail. Either way if they do this honestly hope they keep the guy behing the original Runners music, that shit was great.

  6. Very intriguing, looking forward to this, Runners was very good when done right (that goes way back before the beta ended) hope they manage to capture what worked and then add some more to it, seems to me they want to give more focus to team mechanics, maybe a Sonic Heroes throwback?

    And please no more roulette, the Q&A says there won’t be one and hopefully other characters won’t be as expensive.

      1. Not enough content? I think there was plenty of content in it but with no easy access to all of it.

  7. Not sure if this is the actual sonic mobile game right there. A few months ago, SEGA did mention that they were gonna take a break from mobile gaming for a while. But, if Sonic Runners adventures be a new IP for SEGA, then it’s worth to try to see more evidence on this rumor.

  8. I am expecting a remake of “A New Venture”. I’m also expecting pirates.
