As we get ever closer to The Game Awards 2019 taking place later this week, more and more news seems to be spilling out about the event. This time, the show's creator has noted that Sonic the Hedgehog may be making an appearance.
The news comes from a Periscope video hosted by the man himself, Geoff Keighley, which you can see for yourself below. Interestingly, he's actually answering a fan's question about any possible representation for Sonic's upcoming 30th anniversary, but uses the opportunity to talk about doing "something fun" with the movie due out next February.
The following quote can be heard at the 12:33 mark.
"Yeah, I don’t know, we may do something fun with the movie that’s coming out next year. We’re still talking about that. There could be something fun around that. Yeah, we love Sonic, so Sonic may make an appearance in some form inside of the show”
Of course, this doesn't confirm that we'll definitely be seeing something Sonic-related at the show, but perhaps a funny little nod to the drama caused by Sonic's design could go down well, or even a new slice of footage from the film itself?
Are you planning on watching The Game Awards this Thursday/Friday? Let us know with a comment.

Hey that'll be interesting to see
Basically "yes, but I can't say anything right now".
it has been awhile since we've seen anything sonic outside of the movie.
@Chunkboi79
I know right! It’s been like 6 months since Team Sonic Racing came out and less than a month since Mario & Sonic at the 2020 Olympics came out. Such a long time!
@RushDawg Ahhhh forgot about those stellar platinum grade games! Much rather have those than a core sonic game! Am I right?
Perhaps we'll find out what last year's Christmas-themed Sonic Mania Adventures video was all about?
A movie licensed Sonic The Hedgehog video game?!
Gotta' go fast!
Last year they showed a full scene from Alita: Battle Angel, so I could see Sonic getting similar treatment.
@Chunkboi79
Totally!
The only thing better than a core Sonic game is moving the goal post after you've been proving wrong, am I right?
Would be nice to see an announcement for a new Sonic game, not a racing game that wasn't really all that great, or a collaborative title at the Olympics.
@RushDawg Oh yeah! I mean hard to argue when there's totally relevant and not mediocre "sonic" games being released as of last month!
Please, all I want is remakes of the Adventure games. Or just anything with Chao Garden...
All I really want is a new game that makes a big impact for the series instead of going back to dated or stale gameplay styles in 3D for nostalgia, and halting any progress and identity Sonic has left.
Hopefully we will get a movie game because that would be cool.
@Chunkboi79
For sure! Because you totally specified "relevant and not mediocre" Sonic games in your original post when you said it's been a while since we heard from Sonic. You totally didn't just add those arbitrary qualifications in after you were demonstrably proven wrong. No goal post shifting here!
@RushDawg You're trying wayyy too hard lol
@KingBowser86 I think it was just a fun festive short, not related to anything but the ending to the previous 5 shorts.
The full quote from Keighley confirms it's likely a movie tie in
@Knuckles Sure, but Amy sure arrived outta nowhere. Collision Chaos Past Mix in a cutesy cartoon style was amazing.
Maybe a surprise new sonic game based on the movie?Just a thought.....
Zavok as Smash Bros. DLC n°5, you'll see!
