New Sonic Game to be Announced at 25th Anniversary Celebration

Sonic the Hedgehog is busy celebrating his 25th anniversary as a video game franchise, and this year is full of parties and events centered around that. During festivities in Tokyo, Sonic Team’s Takashi Iizuka revealed that a new Sonic the Hedgehog game is going to release sometime next year.

Further details will come out during the San Diego 25th Anniversary Party on July 22nd. This event was announced back in March by Aaron Webber (guy who runs the Sonic the Hedgehog twitter account) during his SXSW presentation with Sega. According to the event description:
