The Sonic neighborhood will bounce on something as proof that Sonic Journey 3 is confirmed, and just lately, we have been consuming good. Sonic Workforce head Takashi Iizuka has been speaking about it continuous, revealing that Sonic Journey 2 is his favorite recreation within the collection, and saying that we are going to get a sequel “sometime”. And now, that pattern continues, with a latest broadcast dropping a lot of references to each Journey video games.
A brand new episode of TailsTube was shared yesterday, hosted by the titular two-tailed fox himself, and visitor starring Knuckles. This newest episode ties immediately into Sonic Frontiers, with Tails discovering a brand new island for the gang to discover. Nonetheless, what is probably extra thrilling is that Sonic and buddies took a visit down reminiscence lane, making many references to the Sonic Journey days. This implies Sega is not completely performed with the 2 video games, and is probably open to reviving them after years of fan requests.
First up, Knuckles introduces himself because the final in a line of echidnas entrusted with defending the Grasp Emerald. Right here, we get a shot of Tikal and her tribe from Sonic Journey, a recreation that gave us extra backstory on Knuckles’ residence of Angel Island. We additionally see the assorted makes an attempt to steal the Grasp Emerald, with each Rogue and Dr. Eggman going after it in Sonic Journey 2. The photographs displaying off what the mysterious gem is able to additionally come from these video games, with Sonic Workforce seemingly desperate to remind followers of those classics.
Better of all, the music taking part in all through the entire video was none apart from Unknown from M.E. – Knuckles iconic theme tune within the Journey video games. Sadly, it was an instrumental model, so there was no rap to go alongside it. Nevertheless it does appear that Sonic Workforce desires to get Sonic Journey into our heads, maybe suggesting {that a} remaster or new instalment is on its thoughts too.
These have been removed from the one references within the quick broadcast. The emblem for the Sonic Scoops phase is a throwback to these extremely dodgy-looking Sonic ice cream bars – those that by no means had his eyes line up proper. We additionally noticed a shot from Sonic Heroes, a recreation that does not get many shout-outs in any respect nowadays.
If there’s something happening with the Sonic Journey collection, then it is unlikely we’ll hear a lot about it till Sonic Frontiers launches November 8. It is also beforehand been stated that there are “no plans” for a sequel. However who is aware of? We have waited lengthy sufficient – Sega may really feel like rewarding our persistence in spite of everything this time.
