A sequel toSonic Heroescould actually be in development, and it seems to be gearing up for a 2025 launch.

In the words of GAMINGbible’s Sam Cawley, it should be remade.
“I hope to high heaven that it is [remade], because God knows it needs and deserves it,”their article reads.

We could debate this topic until we’re blue in the face, but that isn’t whySonic Heroesis at the forefront of our minds right now.
The possibility that, after all this time, we might finally see a sequel is quite the revelation. But is it true?
