The plot thickens
Did you catch theSonicstream yesterday? No worries,we recapped the whole thing.
Of note, we got confirmation of theSonic Colorsremaster under the “Ultimate” moniker, as well asa tease for what is likely a newSonicgame due in 2022. Now, thanks to information from the game’s teaser and Sega itself, we know a little more about the project.
According to Eurogamer, an early version of Sega’s press release called the game “Sonic Rangers.” Destructoid did not get the same press release, as there is no mention of “Rangers” anywhere. It’s entirely possible that Sega’s UK arm got some wires crossed, and the US one was able to keep it under wraps.
This also lines upwith datamined info from the teaser, which also confirms the “Rangers” name.Folks are also bringing up old rumors from Januaryregarding an “open worldSonicgame” that allegedly has elements ofZelda: Breath of the Wildand Ubisoft titles. Take that last bit with a grain of salt, but given thatRangerscame from an official source, the moniker at least seems accurate.
