Sonic’s 30th anniversary is coming up next year, so how could Sega potentially keep this long-running series feeling fresh? What if it was to hand it over to Yakuza<\/strong> series producer, Daisuke Sato…<\/p>\n

In an official Sega interview recently, Sato was asked what Sega IP he would like to work on that he’s never touched before. His response – Sonic the Hedgehog<\/a><\/strong>. If he was given the chance, the industry veteran says he would likely come up with a “completely different” kind of Sonic game. Here’s his full response:<\/p>\n

\n

“It\u2019s an IP that I haven\u2019t come to before. In the sense that I want to try it, \u2026 well, Sonic. After all, when you hear Sega you think Sonic. I\u2019d like to get involved once at least. But for me, the so-called Sonic is, well, if I were to do it, I wouldn\u2019t do Sonic as it was. I would like to make a completely different Sonic.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Sato most recently worked on Yakuza: Like a Dragon<\/strong> and has been credited in the past<\/a> on various other Yakuza games, projects like the Super Monkey Ball<\/a><\/strong> series and even F-Zero GX and AX<\/strong><\/a> as a stage design director.<\/p>\n
