Sega’s annual Sonic Central broadcast, which typically coincides with Sonic the Hedgehog’s birthday, took a different turn this year. Instead of the usual June broadcast, Sonic brand social media and community manager Katie Chrzanowski announced in a surprise livestream that there would be no Sonic Central event in June. Despite this change, fans were reassured that Sega has not forgotten about the celebrations and encouraged them to stay tuned for updates on future events.
Surprises for Sonic’s 33rd Birthday
Even though there was no official Sonic Central broadcast this month, Sega’s local team still had a few surprises in store for Sonic’s 33rd birthday. Among the new announcements were a closer look at upcoming LEGO sets featuring Sonic, as well as the release of new merchandise such as a themed bag and wireless earbuds. Additionally, Good Smile Company unveiled a new figure commemorating the year of Shadow the Hedgehog. Looking ahead, fans can expect the release of Sonic X Shadow Generations in October, followed by the highly anticipated Sonic the Hedgehog 3 movie in December.
Celebrating Sonic’s 33rd Birthday
With the absence of a traditional Sonic Central broadcast, fans have taken to social media to share their own celebrations for Sonic’s 33rd birthday. From sharing fan art and memories of their favorite Sonic games to discussing the latest merchandise releases, the Sonic community remains as vibrant and dedicated as ever. Whether it’s through playing classic Sonic titles or collecting Sonic-themed memorabilia, fans around the world continue to show their love for the iconic blue blur.
While this year’s Sonic Central may have looked different from previous years, it’s clear that the excitement and enthusiasm for Sonic the Hedgehog’s birthday celebrations remain as strong as ever.
