Sonic Heroes Unreal Engine Remake Rumored for New Consoles

Jump to Summary

Speculation is mounting that SEGA may be working on a remake of the 2003 platform game Sonic Heroes. Reports from multiple leakers, including a notable one named Zippo, suggest that the game is being developed using Unreal Engine, with a target release date in 2025. This project is expected to span several platforms, such as the Xbox Series X/S, PlayStation 5, PC, and a potential successor to the Nintendo Switch.

Despite the growing rumors, which have also been echoed by Portuguese outlet Universo Nintendo and a leaker known as Midori, SEGA has yet to officially confirm the development of the Sonic Heroes remake. Midori, who has previously shared accurate information on SEGA's projects, has mentioned other potential remakes and reboots from the company, including new iterations of Jet Set Radio and Crazy Taxi, and has also discussed a new Virtua Fighter game.

The original Sonic Heroes was a significant release for SEGA, selling over 3.41 million units by March 2007 and introducing a team-based gameplay mechanic. The remake rumors have sparked excitement among fans, particularly in light of SEGA's reported efforts to modernize its franchises with updated engines. However, contrary to some fans' hopes, there are no current plans for a remake of the Sonic Adventure series. Additionally, SEGA's roadmap reportedly includes a Sonic x Shadow: Generations game set for a release in Autumn 2024.
