Sonic Frontiers Director Optimistic About Future of the blue hedgehog
Sonic Frontiers' director, Morio Kishimoto, is more than optimistic about the future of the blue hedgehog in gaming.
This reveal comes from a tweet translated by thegamer, Kishimoto revealed that he's confident that the series is on its way back to the top. "Together with the fans, we have taken the first step towards the day we will be on top once again," he said. "We've seen the light for a AAA-rated Sonic game!"
Less than stellar history
This is fantastic news for fans of the beloved series, especially given Sonic's less-than-stellar recent video game history apart from Sonic Frontiers' which has been a huge commercial success, with sales exceeding expectations.
The game's metacritic score of 75, on the other hand, suggests that there is room for improvement.
Reclaiming Glory
Kishimoto's optimism for the Sonic series' future is reassuring for fans who have been waiting for the franchise to reclaim its former glory. It's unclear what the next Sonic game will look like, but Kishimoto's comments strongly imply that it will be a high-quality AAA title that will exceed fans' expectations and perhaps even entice skeptics to return to the franchise.
The future
Only time will tell whether Kishimoto's optimism is justified, but Sonic fans can rest assured that their favorite blue hedgehog is in capable hands. With Sonic Frontiers' success and Kishimoto's optimistic outlook for the future, there has almost never been a better time to be a Sonic fan.
