Anticipated Sonic Reveal: A Possible Mainline Sonic Game in 2024 According to a Supposed Sega Leak

Exciting news for Sonic the Hedgehog fans! A leaked presentation, allegedly from Sega of America, has given us a glimpse into what could be on the horizon for our favorite blue speedster. According to the leak, Sega might be planning a new mainline Sonic game for the 2024 holiday season. This comes as a surprising revelation, considering we're still anxiously awaiting the release of Sonic Superstars. But it appears that Sega is not one to rest on its laurels and is already prepping for Sonic's future adventures.

The leaked presentation is said to be a "brand and licensing update" for 2023, providing an insight into the performance of Sonic's various marketing ventures throughout the year. Shared by Redditor vilkam on the GamingLeaksAndRumours subreddit, the presentation is seemingly directed towards marketing partners, with an emphasis on sales-related details. Interestingly, it claims that Sonic is the "Most Popular Game Character in America!!", a testament to the enduring love for this iconic character.

Amidst the various sales figures and marketing strategies, a specific slide caught the attention of fans. Titled "Content to Fuel Consumer Products", this slide outlines what is supposedly in store for Sonic in 2024. The list includes the much-anticipated Knuckles TV show, which seems to have been pushed back from its original 2023 release, and the third season of Sonic Prime slated for an early 2024 release. The list further confirms that a new Sonic mobile game is set to launch next year, and DLC for Superstars is planned, though the exact date is yet to be announced.

What has really got fans buzzing, however, is the bold proclamation of a "new game" being planned for Holiday 2024. The presentation further tantalizes with the promise of a "prologue" being released in the months leading up to the game's official release. While it's uncertain what this "prologue" might entail, it could possibly be the official announcement of the game. With Sonic Frontiers having recently released its post-launch DLC, it is unlikely that this new game refers to a spin-off or remake.

While there are still uncertainties surrounding the legitimacy of this leaked presentation, if true, it promises a thrilling 2024 for Sonic fans. Though some aspects of the presentation, such as the low-quality images on some slides, raise questions, the detailed nature of the leak makes it hard to dismiss as a mere hoax. Whether Sega will confirm or deny these rumors remains to be seen. But we can confidently say that if these plans are indeed true, 2024 will be a roller coaster year for Sonic on both the gaming and film front, and we can't wait to see what new adventures await our blue hero!
