Shogakukan’s Monthly CoroCoro Comics magazine announced that Shadow the Hedgehog manga author Yūki Imada will launch a new Sonic the Hedgehog manga adaptation in the magazine’s next issue on June 13. The new Sonic the Hedgehog manga will follow an original adventure.
Imada launched the Shadow the Hedgehog manga in CoroCoro on September 13, 2024 in the leadup to the launch of Sonic X Shadow Generations. The manga ended with its final chapter in the March 2025 issue of CoroCoro. Shogakukan released and shipped the compiled book volume for Imada’s Shadow the Hedgehog manga this past April.
The next release for the series is Rovio’s free-to-play 32-player battle royale game Sonic Rumble for Android, iOS, and PC via Steam. Sonic Rumble was delayed to an unannounced date to ensure it is the “high-quality, long-lasting” Sonic game that SEGA wants fans to enjoy. Currently, the development team is working on introducing the Rumble Ranking system, Crews, and unique Skills for each character.
Moreover, pre-registration for Sonic Rumble is live on Google Play, App Store, and Steam, and players can earn rewards at launch for reaching pre-registration goals. Players can earn 5,000 Rings, Happy sticker, Crystal Chao buddy, Garnet Knuckles skin, and Movie Sonic skin by meeting the pre-registration goals.
The latest release in the mainline series, Sonic X Shadow Generations, launched on October 25, 2024 for Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam and Epic Games Store. Final Weapon reviewed Sonic X Shadow Generations and gave the title a 4.5/5, stating that the game “delivers all the thrills you could hope for with almost none of the drawbacks.” Lastly, a Nintendo Switch 2 version of Sonic X Shadow Generations will launch on June 5.
