Speaking at an SXSW Gaming 2019 panel, Sonic Team head Takashi Iizuka has confirmed that the next main entry in the series is currently in development. Not much else has been said about the game, but there’s the chance that we will hear more about the game at the E3 2019, which is being held in around 3 months from now.

The latest entry in the Sonic the Hedgehog series released on Nintendo Switch as well as on PC and other consoles is Sonic Mania Plus, an enhanced version of the original Sonic Mania.

Sonic Mania plays like the classic 2D Sonic the Hedgehog games, and it features a selection of classic stages as well as brand new ones developed for the game. The game also features several playable characters as well as a lot of content that can keep fans of classic Sonic the Hedgehog games engaged for a very long time.
