Sonic team boss Takashi Iizuka was interviewed by Dot Esport, and the subject of Sonic Adventure came up again, specifically the possibility of a Sonic Adventure 3. When asked what he would want to do if he had free reign to add anything he wanted to a Sonic game, Iizuka noted he wanted to make “the next Sonic Adventure game”, but acknowledged that a third title “would take a whole of investment from the company, a lot of development time, and a lot of game volume to really bring something to market”.
“Instead of a feature, I would like to use these golden keys to kind of make the next Sonic Adventure game. I was there for [Sonic Adventure] and was there for [Sonic Adventure 2,] those are my games. I really want to continue creating the Adventure series.”
“When you look at all the games that are out there now and knowing the kind of expectations for the next Sonic Adventure game would be, it would take a whole of investment from the company, a lot of development time, and a lot of game volume to really bring something to market,” Iizuka said. “But that is what I would use the golden keys for.”
It would be truly amazing to see a proper third entry be made, but it would have a massive uphill battle to meet fan expectations.
