Shadow’s “baby” form brings to mind the equally adorable Baby Sonic from the 2020 Sonic The Hedgehog movie - though Shadow likely isn’t as happy-go-lucky as his blue-tinged counterpart even as a cute infant. Only time will tell if Shadow The Hedgehog will appear once more in Sonic Frontiers, but his miniature incarnation from KartRider Rush+ is certainly putting the anthropomorphic antihero back into the spotlight. SEGA has promised that Frontiers will take the Sonic franchise in a bold new direction, and series mainstays like comic book writer Ian Flynn and legendary Sonic composer Jun Senoue are returning to lend their talents to Sonic’s latest adventure. The second is Sonic Frontiers, a brand-new 3D title that will see the Blue Blur race across a visually impressive open world and feature new mechanics like fast-paced combat styles. The first is Sonic Origins, a remastered collection of several classic 2D Sonic games that will blast onto current-gen systems on June 23 - though many feel that the game’s pre-order options leave much to be desired. Fresh off the celebration of Sonic The Hedgehog’s 30 th anniversary in 2021, SEGA has announced two major Sonic games for release later this year.


Aside from his arrival in KartRider Rush+ and his triumphant return to the silver screen in Sonic The Hedgehog 2, Sonic is having an exciting year in 2022.
