Following Sega’s decision to change its approach to developing new games in the Sonic the Hedgehog series, fans were left ultimately disappointed that after hyping up Sonic the Hedgehog's 30th anniversary for months, all the publisher revealed about the next mainline game in the iconic series was a 30-second teaser of the blue blur doing what he does best - running. This blow was made worse by the controversial release of Sonic Colors: Ultimate. Sonic fans may be looking to end 2021 on a high note however, as recent evidence indicates that the next Sonic game, currently dubbed "Sonic Frontiers," could be appearing at The Game Awards later this week.
