Sonic 25th Anniversary Party Recap

       So on July 22, 2016 Sega held the Sonic 25th Anniversary Party and made lots of announcements for Sonic's 25th Anniversary.

     The first big announcement that was made was the reveal of Sonic Mania! A brand new 2-D Sonic game that resembles the classic 16-Bit games visually and gameplay wise with the three playable characters Sonic, Tails, & Knuckles. There's a new move called the Drop Dash, where you immediately spin forward when you hit the ground after a jump. As far as we know, Sonic is the only character that's able to do the Drop Dash ability. With this we can assume that Knuckles and Tails will have there abilities from Sonic 3 & Knuckles, wall climbing, flying ect. Sonic Mania will be released in Spring 2017 for PlayStation 4, X-Box One, PC, sorry Wii U owners, there's nothing about a Wii U version nor a NX version as of yet.

The second announcement was Classic Sonic joining Sonic Dash as long with a Green Hill Zone Stage. After that they showed off a trailer for Sonic in Lego Dimensions and showing you can play as Super Sonic! The Lego Sonic Pack will be release this Fall. 


  
And finally the moment everyone was waiting for, the big 25th Anniversary game. Well they did and didn't revealed it. We got to teaser trailer of sorts with Modern Sonic on top of a building looking angry at the destroyed world where these Death Egg like robots are causing chaos. Sonic runs towards to big robots when some rocks come towards him and Classic Sonic saves him and they both run toward to robots, and the trailer ends with some text saying "Join the Resistance". So yeah there seems to some what of a mix reaction to the trailer, but over all pretty positive. The game's name for now is "Project Sonic 2017" and is set to release Holiday 2017 for the PS4, X-Box One, PC and NX.


That's all pretty much all the news that came out of the event, the livestream its self was okay with buzzing and a big delay in the beginning, but over all pretty nice.
