A fresh buzz among Sonic the Hedgehog enthusiasts hints at the possibility of an exciting new fighting game to be around the corner. The beloved blue hedgehog has seen a significant resurgence in popularity over the last few years, and the entire credit goes to the successful titles.
Titles like Sonic X Shadow Generations and the well-received live-action films played an important role in its popularity. This revitalization has led fans to speculate that Sega might harness this momentum and introduce brand-new games. It potentially includes a fighting game featuring Sonic.
Recently, a furry of assumptions has surrounded Sega and its legendary Sonic franchise. Fans are eagerly discussing the potential for a remake or a sequel to Sonic Heroes. The hopes are high that it could be released in Fall 2025.
In addition to this, the Sonic Rumble game, a reminder of Fall Guys leaked before its official announcement in 2024. Given this context, it is no wonder that fans have quickly noticed a recent update that could hint at another Sonic project in the works.
Streamer GamesCage shared a screenshot of a job listing on X, the photo revealed that Sega is on the lookout for the developers to create a 3D battle action game.
While the listing does not specify Sonic, it indicates that the team will be operating under Sega’s 2nd Development Division. It is the division which is known for handling the Sonic franchise.
Moreover, the job description likely does not pertain to the newly announced Virtua Fighter revival as it requires experience with Unreal Engine. It is a platform that was earlier associated with the Virtua Fighter series. This suggests that the project is still in the early stages of development.
If Sega indeed is working on developing a Sonic fighting game, it is perfectly in alignment with the earlier rumors in the gaming community.
