A recent trademark filled out by Sega suggests there is another Sonic the Hedgehog game in the works, titled "Sonic and Friends." The Sonic the Hedgehog franchise is looking to have a strong 2023, with this year having plenty of media and games for fans to look forward to. There's the intermittent DLC updates for Sonic Frontiers, a 2D platformer that looks to returns to the series' roots in Sonic Superstars, and even the second season of Sonic Prime that will release in July. On top of all that, there is some evidence that there is more in the works regarding the franchise.
