With a few exceptions, in Sonic movies changed the design It gave a new narrative background for the original characters and also for Sonic and Knuckles. Instead of taking these new elements and adding them to games, the head of Sonic Team is expanding the video game brand to attract new people.
“Since the Sonic movie picks up where the game started, trying to take the features of the movie and put it back in the game doesn’t work out very well,” explains Iizuki. “What I want to do is stay true to the game version of Sonic and expand it to include new ideas that will get people excited.”
“In our mobile games, we have Sonic as a guest character in the movies, and that kind of collaboration is really cool because there are people who have seen the movie and know the character only through that connection. But Sonic from video games is a real essence of character, so trying to take elements of the movie and bring it into games. instead, we want to expand this version and make it attractive to everyone.”
Regarding the success of the films, Iizuka said this poses a challenge for Team Sonic as there is now a larger audience that needs to be satisfied.
“Through the success of the films, we are reaching a wider audience who have never played or played much Sonic before. So we need to start creating content for this group.”
“Honestly, it makes us all very happy because now we have more people to bring content to. It’s still a challenge, because maybe we have new players or people who haven’t played previous Sonic games, so we don’t think we can come out with one game that will get everyone excited”.
Also, Iizuka recently announced that Sonic Frontiers is a turning point for the next decade of the saga.
