Sonic Channel Launches “Sonic 2020” Initiative
SEGA Japan’s Sonic Channel has launched a “Sonic 2020” initative, which will announce something new that is Sonic-related on the 20th of every month in 2020. This project is January 20th’s announcement. The official page can be found here.
So, the obvious question: will this announce the next Sonic game? Well, they say that they will “hold various Sonic the Hedgehog-related events in 2020″, and they do suggest that fans “keep an eye on the franchise as it approaches its 30th anniversary in 2021”. So, it’s possible.

Part of me really wants a game in 2020, but the other part of me wants to wait until 2021 for the 30th anniversary.
After all if I wait that will assure me that the Team at Sega is focusing all their effort on one project rather than two, although I wouldn’t complain if they were working on two projects, the 30th anniversary game and something else.
These days it seems like Sega and Sonic Team only focus on working and releasing ‘major’ Sonic titles during anniversary years, which is not a good thing.
Its very unlikely to happen but I would like to see at least one huge Sonic game being released this year, heck I even take the rumored SA1 remake.
