You may remember that Sonic Superstars, a new 2.5D Sonic game, was officially announced by SEGA at Summer Game Fest just a couple of days ago. Since then, details about the new Sonic game have been gradually coming in from various gaming media outlets throughout the day today.
Well, we’ve learned some significant news from Sonic Team boss Takashi Iizuka tonight. Iizuka confirmed that Arzest are the ones developing the game. If that name sounds familiar to you, that’s because Arzest is the team behind Yoshi’s New Island, Hey! Pikmin and Balan Wonderworld. Arzest’s president is the original character designer for Sonic the Hedgehog, Naoto Ohshima.
As for the music, the music director is Jun Senoue. However, Iizuka mentions that he isn’t working on the game’s music alone. According to Iizuka, Senoue is “working with internal teams at Sega to create music in that classic Sonic vibe and he’s also working on some external teams such as Tee Lopes who helped out on Sonic Mania”.
