Rumor: The 2003 Sonic game may be making a comeback

According to a source in the know, Sega and Sonic Team are planning to bring back one of the iconic titles from the 2003 Sonic franchise.

Based on Sonic Stadium's Twitter post, Google metadata for the game's website, and Sega Asia's (English) YouTube video description for the reveal trailer for Sonic Racing: CrossWorldscontains a brief synopsis of its premise. It first mentions how players are going to “float between dimensions,” which ties into the portal that fans saw in the trailer. However, it also says that players will be able to race across “land, sea, air, space and time” in the game. The mention of cross-country races brings to mind the year 2012 Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed karting mascot for some fans.


Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds may have similarities to Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed


Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed is a Sonic A spin-off racing game where the player can switch between car, boat and plane mode at certain points in the race. These transformations usually allow players to access certain paths or traverse difficult terrain. Some racetracks can also terraform mid-race, giving players the ability to switch between different playstyles during a lap. Therefore, some suggest that Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds can use these mechanisms in its gameplay.


While Shadow's vehicle is the main focus of the cinematic trailer, some fans suspect that Extreme Gear is flying with Sonic racers could also be a type of vehicle, depending on how it can be seen hanging on the wall. Airboards capable of traversing different areas, as described by Sega, also seem to add credence to this theory. Some fans speculate as well CrossWorlds part of the title could also lead to more Sega characters like NiGHTs or Ulala making their way into the game as well.
