Rumour refuses to crash ‘n’ burn
Last week, screen-grabs from a document, purportedly leaked from Sumo Digital, turned up onResetera. The document showed the British developers were working on a “kart racer” featuring a “Global IP”. This led many to surmise that Sumo were in the process of making anotherSonic & Sega All-Star Racingtitle.
Sega’s community manager Aaron Webber was quick to squash the rumour,taking to twitterto denounce that a newSART(Sonic/Sega All-Stars Racing Transformed) game was en route. The plot thickens with German website Spindash’ recent visit to the Spielwarenmesse toy fair in Nuremberg. At said event, British toy firm Zappiesreportedly told Spindashthat they were working on a brand new range, to tie-in with an upcomingSonicracing game.
Of course, none of the above is official confirmation of anything. Some fans have suggested that Webber was being sneakily literal with his tweet, and although he specifically said there wasn’t a new “SART” game in the works, perhaps a similar racer, but with a totally different name, is in development.
At any rate, Sega are holding aSonic the Hedgehogpanelnext month at SXSW 2018. So if Sonic, Rose and chums are preparing to hit the racetrack once again, I’m sure we’ll be hearing about it soon enough.
