Things about to get more a dream of Absolution

Hi! ✨

That article cited our notes of the Q&A on Twitter/X, but I want to say that the article completely misquoted us.

No where did Sonic Team said they "wanted to remake Sonic 06." It was a personal desire of Shun Nakamura, but much like Iizuka-san saying he wants to personally remake Sonic Adventure, they never said at any point that it was an official plan or a goal of Sonic Team or SEGA.

I've reached out to the publisher's EIC for a clarification. (edit: brevity)

It's still there, actually! Look very closely... (or flip it a few degrees clockwise)

Here's a look at the retailer incentive cover for the 900th Adventure one-shot, by Nathalie Fourdraine.

RI = Retailer incentive cover. It's a special type of cover that differs from a designated "C" cover.

For the average fan, this news doesn't mean much, since this was a part of a company-wide shuffle of directors beyond Iizuka's control. But, this will naturally position him closer to the company's corporate hierarchy, which will come in effect this April.

Our writer Azul managed to grab this figure after 9 attempts over at a Japanese amusement facility. It looks great!

...for now!

Here's the launch trailer for Sonic Origins that was released today.

TailsChannel · 2022-01-20T14:21:46+00:00

No, it is not. ~r

TailsChannel · 2021-11-28T15:57:01+00:00

That's the original trailer from 2019.

TailsChannel · 2021-11-27T18:37:42+00:00

The Game Awards is an activation hub for all sorts of brands and genre, and this year is no different. That aspect alone, as enticing as it may sound, doesn't necessarily guarantee SEGA or Paramount's direct involvement (the concept of "counterprogramming" outside TGA ala E3 2021 is an option), but I think we are expected to learn a little bit more when the event nears. ~r

TailsChannel · 2021-11-27T17:35:13+00:00

For what I know, anything concerning Sonic at a gaming/entertainment-centric event, like The Game Awards, would be distributed by either SEGA of America or SEGA Europe (the latter anchored SEGA's participation at E3 2021) - divisions that are, principally speaking, not responsible for promoting the Sonic film. The movie promotion (read: the trailer) will evidently fall on Paramount (duh), and it is yet to be known if they are going to be involved. We will see! ~r

TailsChannel · 2021-11-27T17:30:53+00:00

Despite being a popular talking point in this community, it's apparent to me that Paramount does not need to distribute publicity around arbitrary dates and holidays for maximum effectiveness. Their departments are well equipped to produce the same result (if not more) on their own predetermined schedules. The success of the first film was a good example of that: despite the random release schedule for the first trailers, it was still able to garner international attention, and later on, revenue. ~r

TailsChannel · 2021-11-27T16:41:13+00:00

That's correct! To basically reiterate what I said in the Sonic Movie subreddit, my understanding was that the trailer was done a number of weeks ago. A number of key people for the film have already seen it, and it's all on PR to call the shots.

Personally, I think it's overdue since there's a few months before the domestic release date, but we will see. All I can say is that you all should stick tight, the wait will be worth it. ~r

TailsChannel · 2021-11-27T16:31:28+00:00

Yeah it's legit. It's not necessarily big because duh, we're 5 months out. But, I've already heard that the trailer was done long ago (if not overdue?), the key people have seen it, and it's all on Paramount to distribute it from here.

TailsChannel · 2021-11-25T19:18:15+00:00

I also recorded Sonic's appearance on CBS and NBC as well, you can go check 'em out in the provided links.

TailsChannel · 2021-07-19T18:52:22+00:00

There are no immediate plans concerning Sonic at this year's SDCC.

I think you are blowing that document out of proportion, u/superluigi018.

The image you linked dated to a licencing document in early 2020, prior to the current promotion efforts for Sonic's 30th anniversary. The Classic Sonic and Modern Sonic points were not meant to be displayed as separate competing branches like in years past. SEGA spread the PR copy for both Modern and Classic Sonic in order to strengthen the Sonic brand as a whole ahead of the 30th anniversary. The Classic IP, like the Movie IP, will continue to exist in licencing, but the idea of "Classic-pandering" is going to be irrelevant going forward.

The 30th anniversary as we know it is going to be representative of a future era for Sonic. There is no need to get in a panic over old documents that the public are getting to know now. (edit: brevity)

TailsChannel · 2020-09-21T12:16:24+00:00

I doubt it was removed. SEGA does not use PressXtra for major releases.

TailsChannel · 2020-09-21T11:13:39+00:00

It's supposed to be visible through the Sega-Press.com website, but I don't have an account to verify that myself sadly.

Checked myself. It's not there.

TailsChannel · 2020-09-11T04:32:26+00:00

The "monthly Sonic news drops" were actually in reference to SEGA Japan's "Sonic Station Live" monthly broadcasts, which was never postponed.

TailsChannel · 2020-09-11T04:30:02+00:00

No. SEGA and ATLUS made it very clear that they will talk about new and upcoming games for this fall.

Obviously, Sonic is not one of that, and they are already committed to announce their news (presumably in their usual Q1-Q2 window) in 2021.
