Iizuka Clarifies No Plans for a New Sonic Adventure Title

During a recent interview with IGN, Sonic Team’s Takashi Iizuka had been asked about the potential of returning to the Sonic Adventure series.

I’ve mentioned this in previous interviews, but I would like to continue the Sonic Adventure series. Sonic Adventure also contains smaller open spaces known as Adventure Fields. I think we’ve used what we learned with those in this game as well. I haven’t thought about my next game yet. But I personally think it’d be nice if we could use what we learn with this game in Sonic Adventure.

Since then, Takashi Iizuka’s response has been misinterpreted with many assuming there is another Sonic Adventure title planned despite Takashi Iizuka only responding to IGN’s question. Takashi Iizuka has now followed this up with clarification.

IGN asked very directly about making Sonic Adventure 3, so I was just answering the question. I’m not saying, ‘we’re definitely making Sonic Adventure 3’, although people may want to believe that. I just want to reiterate that the entire team is focused on Sonic Frontiers and they really want to make it the best game that it can be.

In the future, yes, Sonic Adventure 3 is there as an idea that at some point it would be cool to maybe explore, but that’s not part of the plan and that’s not what I’m doing. It’s all about Frontiers [right now] and we have no plans for Sonic Adventure 3 at this point. I just want to be clear with everyone! But yeah, as somebody who made Sonic Adventure 1 and 2, it is on my mind as some idea that I could potentially think about in the future.

I want to be very direct and very clear: we have no plans to make Sonic Adventure 3.
