As we all know, filling Sonic the Hedgehog 35 years in 2026, and Sega has said several times that they will celebrate this in a number of ways. That means we can reasonably expect merchandise, DLC for existing games, maybe some re-releases of classics and much more.
But a new game is obviously what fans are hoping for the most – and indeed there have been rumors of an announcement in 2026. But it might be more than that, as movie leaker Daniel Richtman claims (thanks My Nintendo News) that an animated Sonic series is also in the works.
We don’t know anything about this ourselves, but Richtman has proven to be quite reliable in the past, and Sonic series tend to be released every now and then, the latest being the 2022 Netflix series Sonic Prime (plus the spinoff series Knuckles was released on Paramount+/SkyShowtime in 2024). So it doesn’t seem at all unlikely that this will turn out to be true, especially since Sonic is turning 35 after all.
