In commemoration of Sonic the Hedgehog’s birthday, Sega has recently announced its intention to host a Sonic Central showcase on June 23, 2023. This date carries a significant nostalgia as it marks the initial launch of the iconic game on the Genesis console back in 1991. The event, which is set to kick off at 8am PT/11am ET/5pm CET, has yet to have its running time revealed, but Sega has dropped hints of exciting revelations, including new Sonic-related projects and games.
For Sonic enthusiasts looking to join in on the celebration, Sega offers two viewing platforms: either via the series’ official Twitch channel or on YouTube. While the YouTube live placeholder page isn’t available at the moment, it is expected to be set up shortly. Specifics regarding the announcements during the Sonic Central 2023 showcase remain under wraps, with Sega only teasing “projects, partnerships, and events.” This suggests possible discussions about upcoming conventions and other events where Sega might make appearances throughout the year, and potentially updates on associated comics, animations, and merchandise.
However, amidst the tantalizing secrecy, Sega has confirmed one exciting piece of news: the development of a brand-new game, “Sonic Superstars.” This forthcoming release promises a return to the traditional gaming experience Sonic fans have come to love, with an additional twist. The game will introduce a cooperative multiplayer mode, encouraging up to four players to team up.
