Update: According to a post on the Sega forums by Ruby Eclipse, it is Sonic Boom Fire & Ice.
Original Story: According to the website for the AOD convention, Ken Pontac is going to be attending, and there is a rather curious section towards the end of his description.
His many admirers in the world of Sonic fandom will be ecstatic to learn that he’s written for an upcoming video game featuring their favourite blue hedgehog.
As some have pointed out, this could mean Sonic Boom Fire & Ice, however it’s rather odd they didn’t just name that or pick one of his previous works if it wasn’t a new or unknown title.

Sonic Lost World Writer Ken Pontac left some rather interesting comments on TSS with regards to the story and development of the previous titles. It’s only a few small pieces of information, but it’s interesting if you have an interest in game development.
Actually, this WAS the first time that Warren and I were asked to come up with the story. On Colors and Generations the stories were already in place.
AustinOnSugar, I appreciate your comment, which is (almost) absolutely accurate. Nobody EVER gets to write a story EXACTLY how they want unless they own the project and have total control of the edit. That being said, I’m very happy in the way that Warren and I were allowed to inject so much of our vision into the project.
Eggman is EPIC in this. He’s SO MUCH FUN to write!
One mistake doesn’t make someone an idiot. It’s how they DEAL with the mistake that makes them a hero.
