Sonic Creator Announcing New Game
While many consider him to have fallen from grace with a series of relatively lackluster titles, there’s no doubt that in his heyday, Sonic The Hedgehog was a gaming icon on the same level with Mario. Yuji Naka, one of the Blue Blur’s major creators, has been absent from the gaming development world since 2006.
His new studio, Prope, has a website up that’s got a countdown to when the game that will be his (hopefully) triumphant return to the world of video games will be announced. He’s not straying too far from his roots; the title will be made in cooperation with Sega.
The counter is currently counting down from 17 days and the only thing in English on the site says “World first, the game that even penguins can play”. It also shows one of the cute little flightless birds with an exclamatory thought bubble next to his head.
