Things are looking good. Very good indeed. Turns out that the new Sonic game (code named Project Needlemouse) will have only 1 playable character, Sonic. Sega’s blog confirmed this today:
“Today, we are about to break the trend that has continued on for many years. To the thousands of you out there asking for a game where Sonic is the only playable character – rejoice. As of today, your wish has been granted. In Project Needlemouse, there will be no new characters – playable or otherwise. The focus will remain solely on one blue hedgehog.”
Along with this announcement, Sega also gave us all a preview of the art style they are going for in the new game.
“This art reveals an enemy from the game – but at the same time, it also reveals much more about the spirit, and direction, that Project Needlemouse is taking. For all of you older fans who were stoked by the news above, this should be the icing on the cake.”
