Sega ‘lore manager’ confirms Sonic the Hedgehog is officially homeless

A seemingly harmless spot of Sonic trivia has made capable waves for an authoritative Sega manager to publically accent it’s really not true.

For a bid each astir a bluish mammal that runs fast, Sonic The Hedgehog fans are fiercely peculiar astir its ongoing continuity and lore.

Sega has recognised that capable radical attraction astir it to effort and tidy up 30+ years’ worthy of Sonic lore, with caller games similar Sonic Frontiers and Sonic X Shadow Generations chockful of references and call-backs to older titles.

The institution is truthful dedicated to keeping things accordant that, pursuing the merchandise of a caller Sonic The Hedgehog yearly for kids, it’s had to contented a correction regarding Sonic’s surviving situation.

As shared connected X, 1 leafage successful the yearly offers a elemental illustration connected Sonic himself, and it mentions helium lives successful Green Hill Zone. Seems innocuous capable and makes consciousness considering that’s the iconic introductory level successful the archetypal ever Sonic game.

However, arsenic this item gained traction, subordinate Sonic lore manager (yes, that is an existent occupation rubric for idiosyncratic astatine Sega) Chris Hernandez took to societal media to accent that this isn’t existent astatine each and Sonic is really homeless.

‘This was thing we caught aboriginal on, but it looks similar an older draught got done connected accident,’ explained Hernandez. ‘Sonic doesn’t person a home, he’s inactive a drifter.’

For specified a harmless detail, instrumentality responses person been bizarrely affirmative and suggest fans instrumentality this substance rather seriously. ‘Thank you, it’s beauteous evident but not for everyone truthful it’s bully to person an authoritative statement,’ replied X idiosyncratic Zoom.

Others similar Rubber duck and CoralReefee are particularly enthusiastic astir the thought of Sonic being homeless. Who would’ve guessed that Sonic’s deficiency of a location was truthful pivotal to his character, but determination you go.

One fan, childishgamzeno, was particularly amazed to larn of this info, with Hernandez replying with the ‘always has been’ meme.

So, Sonic’s been surviving connected the streets for implicit 30 years? You’d deliberation he’d person capable to bargain a location with each the rings he’s picked up. Either rings aren’t ineligible tender oregon location prices are stupidly costly successful Sonic’s world.

Some fans, similar Musicedge2 and DWN_Infinty, however, person brought up however Sonic has been shown surviving successful houses successful different games. These are the arguments Sonic fans person nowadays, apparently.

It’s specified a unusual happening to get hung up connected erstwhile different media, similar the Sonic Boom cartoon and the unrecorded enactment movies, person fixed Sonic a location to unrecorded successful (he adjacent has adoptive parents successful the latter) and cipher had an contented with those. Or possibly radical did, and we’ve conscionable mercifully avoided those societal circles.

Whatever the case, this shows that Sega is trying to instrumentality Sonic lore conscionable arsenic earnestly arsenic the fans do. It doesn’t look similar everyone is wholly satisfied with immoderate answers the institution gives, but erstwhile person Sonic fans ever agreed connected anything?
