Earlier this year, Netflix teased thatSonic Primehad been renewed for a second season and thatit would premiere at some point later this year. Well, it seems like that time is fast-approaching, as it’s been announced that Sonic Prime Season 2 will finally release on Netflix on July 13 in a little under two months time.This was announced via the official Sonic the Hedgehog Twitter account, much to the delight of Sonic Prime fans desperate to see more after the first season’s big cliffhanger ending. An image shared for the announcement of Season 2 featured both Sonic and Shadow underwater, the latter holding Sonic’s fancy shoe changing device, so it’s possible this next season could focus a lot more on the two’s relationship.Related:My Long And Complicated Relationship With Video Game WaterApart from that, we know very little about Season 2 and what will go down when Sonic and the crew re-enter the Shatterverse. In the traditional Netflix style, Season 2 wil release all at once, meaning you’ll be able to binge from beginning to end once it drops this July, and we’ve still not heard any word on how many episodes the season is made up of or whether we’ll be getting a Season 3. Netflix is rather trigger happy when it comes to cancellations, although a second season at all is a good sign that the company is happy with Sonic Prime for now.
With the new season of Sonic Prime and the story DLC for Sonic Frontiers on the way, it’s looking like 2023 is yet another good year for Sonic fans that just can’t get enough of the blue blur. We still don’t have a release date for that DLC, but we do know that basegame writer Ian Flynn is returning to help write for it. He also hinted that it may include some big moments for the game’s characters, as Flynn teased that the DLC will be “truly important” to the series.
However, it’s not all good news for Sonic fans, as it turns out future games in the seriesmay be a little more expensive going forward. That’s goes for every other game Sega publishes too, as it recently explained in an earnings report earlier this month that it will “review the price of titles that we believe are commensurate with price increases”. A lot of big publishers have increased the prices of their games to $70, and it now sounds like Sega is joining the club.
