Shuji Utsumi<\/strong>, president of Sega<\/strong>, has not been very pleased with Sonic Superstars<\/strong>. In an interview with Eurogamer, the executive describes it as a “disappointment.”<\/p>\n\n\n

For Utsumi, the development of Sonic Frontiers was an attempt to do something “creative<\/strong>” and different to end the streak of poor Sonic games. However, with Superstars, things didn’t go so well: “Sonic Superstars turned out to be a disappointment, in terms of the outcome compared to what was offered.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The executive also talks about his commitment to mixing different media: “This time, we have Sonic X Shadow Generations<\/strong> and the next Sonic movie<\/strong>, so we are pushing in the transmedia direction: movies and games working in harmony to create bigger things. But the core<\/strong> (of the experience) is the game<\/strong>. The game needs to be good<\/strong> or else, there is no transmedia effect<\/strong>.” <\/p>\n\n\n\n

During the Game Awards 2024, Sega announced the development of a new Sonic racing game, Sonic Racing: Crossworlds<\/strong>. Here is the short trailer that was shown: <\/p>\n\n\n\n
