Sonic 35th Anniversary Wishlist & Potential Collaborations at AX 2026.

Hi everyone,

With Anime Expo 2026 just around the corner, I wanted to open a discussion regarding our hopes for the Sonic the Hedgehog 35th Anniversary celebrations. Given that Takashi Iizuka-san will be there for the animation retrospective, I’m feeling optimistic about what Sega might have in store.

Here is my personal "wishlist" for what I’d love to see announced at the show:

• New Mainline Sonic Title: Following up on previous rumors, I’m hoping for a formal teaser of a new, high-fidelity mainline game that pushes the series forward while respecting its roots.

• Sonic Unleashed Remaster: I’ve long hoped for a dedicated remaster of Sonic Unleashed for modern hardware—ideally with updated engine performance and frame rates.

• Anniversary Collections: Beyond the recently announced collections, it would be great to see if there are any further expansions to how they are preserving the legacy of the franchise.

• Sonic x Power Rangers Crossover: This is the big "dream" item for me. With the Power Rangers brand undergoing a reboot at Boom Studios, I think a Sonic x Power Rangers crossover—specifically as a multi-issue comic book series or a special limited-time game event—would be an incredible fit for both fanbases.

I’m curious to hear your thoughts on these. Do you think we’ll see any major game reveals during the animation panel, or will the focus stay on the current anniversary projects?

Looking forward to hearing your predictions and what you're most excited to see at the Sega booth!

Respectfully,
