Here's everything we can expect from Sonic in 2024!

The Sonic franchise delivered a diverse range of experiences, from video games to other adaptations. Notable releases included Sonic Frontiers, Sonic Origins with its "Plus" expansion, Sonic Superstars, and the unexpected Sonic Dream Team. These offerings kept Sonic enthusiasts engaged in thrilling adventures with the iconic blue blur and his friends. The Sonic universe continued to evolve and capture the imaginations of fans across various mediums.

 

The Sonic franchise treated fans to an encore in 2023, following the excitement of the previous year with releases like Sonic Superstars and Sonic Dream Team. The Sonic community experienced a thrilling year, thanks to the continued success of Sonic Frontiers, Sonic Origins, the Sonic the Hedgehog 2 movie, and the animated series Sonic Prime. However, the introduction of surprise releases like Sonic Superstars and Sonic Dream Team may signal a need for Sonic enthusiasts to brace for a potentially quieter period ahead.

 

Even if the gaming side of Sonic might take a bit of a breather after the whirlwind of releases in the last couple of years, 2024 is shaping up to be an exciting time for Sonic fans. Get ready for a packed schedule with the final season of Sonic Prime dropping on January 11, the Knuckles series hitting Paramount Plus early in the year, and the much-anticipated Sonic the Hedgehog 3 movie wrapping things up on December 20. And you know how Sonic likes to keep things interesting, so there's always room for a surprise or two!

Fans hoping for a new Sonic game in 2024 might want to temper their expectations a bit. The buzz about a holiday release is out there, but don't hold your breath for a major title. Keep in mind that Sonic Frontiers alone took a solid five years to come to life, and both Sonic Superstars and Sonic Dream Team were crafted by different studios. If there is a game in the works for the holiday season, it's more likely to be a spin-off developed by one of Sega's partners.

 

While a big Sonic game in 2024 seems uncertain, fans can still expect additional content for the titles released in 2023. Sonic Dream Team, the platformer exclusive to Apple Arcade, is already set to receive post-launch DLC. Additionally, a leak from a recent Sonic Superstars update hinted at upcoming skins, a pattern reminiscent of Sonic Frontiers before its DLC dropped. This suggests that Sonic Superstars might have more surprises in store, potentially with its own DLC roadmap or, more likely, a "Plus" expansion in the future. So, while 2024 may not be Sonic's biggest year, there's still some excitement on the horizon!

Sonic fans, gear up for an eventful 2024! Here's a roundup of what's confirmed and what's likely to unfold in the Sonic universe:

• Sonic Prime season 3 kicks off on January 11.
• Knuckles' solo series on Paramount Plus (anticipated in early 2024, but stay tuned for any delays).
• Sonic Dream Team post-launch content is in the works (release date TBD).
• Leaked skins for Sonic Superstars might bring fresh vibes to the game.
• The Sonic IDW comics continue, with highlights like the Fang the Sniper mini-series throughout the year.
• Sonic Symphony takes the world tour stage with appearances and dates in 2024.
• Get ready for new Sonic the Hedgehog LEGO sets featuring Knuckles, Rouge, and Shadow.
• The highly anticipated Sonic the Hedgehog 3 movie is set to hit theaters on December 20.

And there's more excitement on the horizon, with potential surprises like merchandise releases and special celebrations for Knuckles the Echidna's character anniversary. While the video game side of the Sonic franchise might take a breather, there's no shortage of excitement on the horizon. Amy Rose had her time in the spotlight in 2023, and now it's Knuckles' turn to shine with his dedicated mini-series. Celebrating Knuckles' 30th anniversary, a special comic is set to release, continuing the tradition that began with Sonic, Tails, and Amy in recent years. So, even if the game releases ease up for a bit, Sonic and his friends are bound to keep the momentum going in other aspects of the series.
