To go along with this new message, SEGA unveiled the official key visual for the project:

Meanwhile, the slogan “Welcome to the next level” suggests that SEGA will be building on the popularity of Sonic, and possibly release even more games and media in the future.

Of course, the most exciting Sonic project for 2022 is no doubt Sonic Frontiers. Announced at the Game Awards 2021, Frontiers is an upcoming open world game that, based on the trailer, is reminiscent of titles such as Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. Essentially, Frontiers is a Sonic BotW, which is a new and interesting direction for the series.
