SEGA Has Been Working On A New Sonic The Hedgehog Mobile Game
It appears that a new mobile game may be on the horizon for Sonic the Hedgehog. A new job listing posted on Gameindustry.biz states that SEGA Hardlight, the team behind Sonic Dash, Sonic Forces Speed Battle, and other titles, is looking for a new lead artist. The job listing is titled “Lead Artist- New Sonic Game,” making it clear that a new mobile Sonic game is in development.
It is unknown if this is related to the upcoming Sonic Frontiers, but given that the title is going to be narrative focused, it is certainly shaping up to be more ambitious than their previous titles. SEGA Hardlight is a UK-based team that has been responsible for six mobile Sonic titles over the past decade, including endless runners such as Sonic Dash, Sonic Dash 2: Sonic Boom, and Sonic Forces Speed Battle. They also developed Sonic Jump, Sonic Jump Fever, and the apple arcade exclusive Sonic Racing.
