SEGA has officially released the long-awaited celebratory animated short Memories and Beyond, dedicated to the 35th anniversary of the iconic Sonic the Hedgehog franchise. The project aims to remind fans of the blue hedgehog's rich history and brightest memories spanning over three decades of adventures.
Friendship against Eggman's evil plans
The story foundation was established by Takashi Iizuka, with the script written by well-known writer Ian Flynn. In the animation, Sonic, along with his loyal friends, attempts to stop Dr. Eggman, who seeks to harness the power of the Chaos Emeralds to turn Metal Sonic into an invincible killing machine.
Collaboration with GXS Productions
The team worked on creating the animation over the past 12 months. This marks SEGA's fourth collaboration with animation studio GXS Productions, which previously created the prologues for SONIC X SHADOW GENERATIONS and Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds.
To celebrate the release, anniversary merchandise has launched on the official SEGA Shop, and digital storefronts are offering discounts on popular games in the Sonic series.
