IDW Sonic the Hedgehog #61 Preview Points to Conclusion of Urban Warfare Saga

Solicitations for IDW Sonic Issue 61 has come through the wire, and while it doesn’t give us an awful lot of information to go on, it does suggest that this book will mark the end of the long-running Urban Warfare story arc.

The complete, three-line synopsis can be seen below. Story is being written by Evan Stanley, with lineart by Adam Bryce Thomas.

This is it! The end! (Of the arc, that is)

Everyone is focused on the command tower: if that goes down, the city will fall.

But are 3 teams enough to stop something it seems even Dr. Eggman can’t control?

No cover has yet to be revealed, but we do know that Mauro Fonseca is lined up to handle Cover A duties, with Miles Arq and Nathalie Fourdraine pegged for Covers B and RI respectively.

The release date is currently set for 24 May 2023, but knowing how IDW is with keeping to schedule we should expect that release to be delayed over the next couple weeks.

We’ve created a new entry for this issue of IDW in our new Sonic Database, which is editable by all with a Sonic Stadium account. Feel free to work with us to collaboratively update the wiki entry when more details come to light!

Classic Amy Gets Baking in New Sonic Pict for February 2023

SEGA Japan’s official Sonic the Hedgehog portal, Sonic Channel, has released a brand new piece of artwork for its monthly ‘Sonic Pict’ series – and as usual it’s packed full of cuteness. For February 2023, the scene is of Classic Amy baking some cookies in her kitchen, with Little Planet looming outside in the background.

The picture also comes with some flavour text – here’s the translation, via Twitter machine translation:

“Little Planet”

If you wait here at this time of year, maybe that blue hedgehog will come back to see you?

Amy, who works hard at making sweets, wants to say a few words of thanks 

Give a wonderful gift to your loved ones with your feelings

What a ‘sweet’ message (get it? Oh, never mind). See if you can spot the ‘Future’ and ‘Past’ cookies, as well as a little cameo from a certain purple cat’s best friend…

Sonic & Shadow ‘Super Situation Figure’ Showcased at WonderFes 2023, Pre-Orders Start Summer 2023

Japanese anime figure company S-FIRE has revealed an updated prototype of its upcoming Sonic Adventure 2-inspired Sonic and Shadow statue. First announced at the Wonder Festival Japan expo in 2022, the model manufacturer has showcased the latest version of the product at the same convention over the weekend. Pre-orders for the statue will start in Summer 2023.

As you can see from the high-res images S-FIRE posted today, the “Super Situation Figure: Sonic & Shadow” statue is looking much more vibrant and intense since we last saw it a year ago. Sonic franchise creative director, Kazuyuki Hoshino, revealed that some alterations were even made since the figure’s last appearance, based on fan feedback:

  • Shadow’s mouth has been moved to the front side
  • The rings now have a shiny effect on them
  • Sonic’s SOAP shoes have been completely redesigned, referring more closely to the shoes that feature in the Sonic Frontiers DLC last year

SEGA Japan’s official Sonic Twitter channel was present at the Wonder Festival Japan 2023 and shared some photos of the statue on display. You can check them out below, or by clicking the link to their Twitter post.

Kishimoto: First Major Sonic Frontiers DLC is in Final Stages of Production

‘Sonic Origins Plus’ Rated in Korea

It looks like an updated version of classic compilation Sonic Origins is in the works, as the Game Rating and Administration Board of Korea has recently listed a product titled ‘Sonic Origins Plus’.

The listing, spotted by Gematsu, simply details the name of the product. No other information has been unveiled, but given the original compilation was released on a number of modern platforms (including Nintendo Switch, PS5, PS4, Xbox Series and PC), it wouldn’t be a stretch to assume this ‘Plus’ version would be destined for the same.

The listing suggests that SEGA is preparing an updated version of the Sonic Origins package with some new content – possibly new games?

The original Sonic Origins release contained a slew of classic Mega Drive Sonic titles – Sonic 1, Sonic 2, Sonic CD and Sonic 3 & Knuckles. However, references to Sonic Spinball, Sonic 3D Flickers’ Island and Knuckles Chaotix are included in the game’s menus and museum mode. Could we see these games represented in a ‘Plus’ revision? Or perhaps a selection of 8-Bit Sonic titles to fully represent the blue blur’s 1990s roots?

When more detail comes, we’ll be sure to let you know!

SEGA Financials: Sonic Frontiers Nears 3m Units Sold, Annual Series Sales Tops 6.7m

Sonic Frontiers has proven to be a standout release for SEGA, as the company disclosed in its latest quarterly investor call that the free-roaming adventure sold over 2.9 million units worldwide by the end of December 2022.

Annual Sonic series sales has also exploded year on year, with 4.12m unit sales sold during this third fiscal quarter, adding to a current FY total of 6.75 million units – already surpassing the previous FY 2022 total of 5.8 million units.

SEGA Sammy has attributed a lot of its sales fortunes over the last quarter to the “strong” performance of its newly-released titles, such as Sonic Frontiers and Persona 5 The Royal (which sold 1.3 million units in the same timeframe).

However, it noted that “repeat sales” of older games “went weak”, which has led SEGA Sammy to revise its forecasted FY total game sales from 34.2m units by year’s end to 28.2m units. Still, while the YOY Q3 full game unit sales comparison is a downward trend (20.7m units sold in Q3 2023 compared to 21.9m units in Q3 2022), SEGA’s revenue from those sales have been stronger this past quarter (142.5 billion yen in Q3 2023 compared to 119.6 billion yen in Q3 2022).

SEGA’s strategy for the near-term, according to its reported forecast, is to launch several major IP titles (one of which we can assume involves Samba de Amigo which was recently announced for Nintendo Switch) as well as a “revaluation of asset quality of some titles.” Guess we’ll have to wait and see what that means.

It’s only been three months since the release of Sonic Frontiers – and two months since the launch of the official soundtrack on Spotify, Apple Music and other audio platforms – but the fanbase has seemingly already decided on which song from the soundtrack is the most iconic. And strangely, it’s not the game’s main theme, “I’m Here”.

Sonic Stadium Reader Survey 2022/2023 – Help Shape The Future of the Site

Happy New Year to all our readers and everyone in our community! I hope your holiday season was full of joy and good times with family and friends. January is usually the time of year where we start looking to the near future and maybe start setting some personal goals to achieve.

The Sonic Stadium had an absolutely fantastic 2022, owing to the several-punch combo of Sonic the Hedgehog merch, games and media that released last year. The interest that you all showed in our content has been insane, and the discussion in the forums has been more active than ever! However you choose to spend your time on here, we really appreciate it and want to make sure you feel even more at home over the next year.

More to come on all of that soon enough. In the meantime, I want to take stock of the past year on the site, and listen to feedback on what you feel we’ve done right (and what we haven’t done quite so right) over the last 12 months.

Whether you’re a dedicated ‘Stadium user who visits and posts on the forums every day, a lurker that just pops in to check out the news and chat, or a casual Sonic fan who just likes to read the latest game information, I would really appreciate it if you could spend five minutes of your time completing our special Reader Survey. Your feedback is always valuable to me, and I take on board everything when deciding on how best to take the site forward.

Sonic Year in Review 2022: A Banner Year for a New Generation of Sonic

The end of 2022 is now upon us. And boy, what a year it has been!

Happy Holidays from The Sonic Stadium

It’s that time of year once again, where we gather with our family and/or loved ones and exchange gifts and share treasured memories with one another (or, if that’s not your bag, buy presents and make new happy memories on your lonesome instead)! Where did all the time go?! From all of us at the Sonic Stadium we wish you a very Happy Holidays, a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year for 2023.

And what a year it has been for us Sonic fans! From the very beginning it has been simply banger after banger – from the hugely successful Sonic the Hedgehog movie sequel (thank the Gods for Idris Elba), to finally getting the classic collection on console we deserve in Sonic Origins, all the way to Sonic Frontiers’ critically-acclaimed reception and Sonic Prime’s incredible Netflix debut.

That’s to say nothing of all the incredible specials and storylines that have run through Sonic’s comic universe, thanks to the tireless work of the IDW crew. No matter what your niche is, it has been a great 12 months for the blue blur!

We hope this winning streak continues throughout 2023, with Sonic Frontiers’ DLC roadmap slowly unfurling, initial news on the Sonic the Hedgehog 3 movie, as well as potential new projects coming from SEGA and Sonic Team.

Whatever happens, as always, you can trust us to be right there with you as the news breaks! We’ll also be slowly transforming the site over the next year to make things more exciting and help continue to make Sonic Stadium the true online home for the Sonic online community. We’ve taken some small steps over the last year or two, but there’s more yet to come.

Take care of yourselves, and we’ll continue running with you all through the rest of 2022 and beyond! Happy Holidays!

New Characters, Story and DLC Revealed for Sonic Frontiers in 2023 Content Roadmap

SEGA has announced that Sonic Frontiers will be receiving a whole smorgasbord of new free DLC and story-based content throughout 2023, with a roadmap covering a laundry list of material from small features like photo mode to full-blown playable character arcs.

Via Sonic Twitter

The content will be broken up into three distinct updates, with the first two focusing on additional quality-of-life upgrades to the core Sonic Frontiers experience. Update 1 will consist of a Juke Box and Photo Mode features, with additional Challenge modes for seasoned players. Update 2 will celebrate Sonic’s birthday somehow, introduce new Koco creatures and add an intriguing ‘Open Zone Challenge’ feature.

It’s Content Update 3 that we’re very excited about though – this will apparently feature new playable characters as well as a new story to build upon the events of the core Sonic Frontiers game. We’re assuming this means that Tails, Knuckles and Amy will get their own playable experiences and challenges, but additional story elements are more than welcome too given the ending was one of the weaker elements of the game (per our Sonic Stadium review here).

Best of all, as already mentioned, all of this upcoming content will be free for existing players. To kick things off for the holiday season, SEGA will also be releasing a special free DLC costume pack on December 21st, with the blue blur donning a Christmas suit to rock while busting heads in Cyberspace.

Via Sonic Twitter

Seeing this level of post-release support for a Sonic the Hedgehog game is unheard of; SEGA has previously only dabbled with tiny morsels of DLC in the past, with the most significant being additional ‘Hard mode’ stage variants for Sonic 2006 and challenges for Sonic Unleashed. Sonic Forces offered Super Sonic and Episode Shadow DLC, but this roadmap for Frontiers seems to take things much further than any game before it.

We’re very excited to see what the future holds for the Starfall Islands – if you’ve not already played Sonic Frontiers and want to know what the deal is all about, check out our definitive review right here.

TSS REVIEW: Sonic Frontiers

They say that a work of art tends to be a reflection of the thoughts and feelings of the artist who made it. If that’s the case, then Sonic Team has been a studio seemingly crushed with anxiety for the last five years, because Sonic Frontiers is a game uncharacteristically drenched in melancholy, introspection and sadness.

From the wistful empty fields and abandoned temples of Kronos Island, to the hauntingly isolationist undertones of the soundtrack and even the narratives driving Sonic and his friends (no spoilers here, don’t worry), there’s something strangely unsettling about the vibe of Sonic Frontiers.

TSS PREVIEW: Sonic Frontiers Impressions – Cautiously One Ok Rock-timistic

Sonic Frontiers represents the biggest shake-up of the Sonic the Hedgehog game franchise for over twenty years. So naturally, there has been a lot of apprehension from fans about the project since its announcement – especially as Sonic Team has built up a reputation of switching focus with each of its mainline titles since 2001.

Everybody is desperate to finally get a series of Sonic titles that establish (and maintain) a consistent visual, gameplay and narrative design. Will Sonic Frontiers be the start of a brand new branch/generation of Sonic games? Sonic Team has gone on record to say that is their intention. After playing a brief demo of the game at Gamescom last month, I’m cautiously optimistic enough to agree. With some reservations.
