Name Change For Sonic Unleashed?
Andrew Paulson, Managing Editor | June 7, 2008
Will Sonic World Adventure become the new name for Sonic Unleashed?
Two days ago I reported on the mystery Sonic World Adventure game guide being featured as a new pre-order item on Amazon.com. Could Sonic World Adventure replace Sonic Unleashed as the new name for the highly anticipated video game? Adding to the discussion would be that Prima Games (who are publishing the book) have recently added their own preview page for the strategy guide. Though there isn’t much new information that wasn’t already mentioned on our previous report, the platforms confirmed for the guide are Sony PlayStation 2, Sony PlayStation 3, Wii and Xbox 360.
Since the platforms are the exact same consoles Sonic Unleashed will be released on, this confirms that the strategy guide mentioned above is indeed intended for the same game. Below are the current title details from the preview page:

This is all just speculation by my part on a possible name change, it could still very well be a simple mistake by Prima Games. Stick around TSSZ News for more information on this subject as we get it.
I sure hope it’s true. Sonic Unleashed is an okay name, but Sonic World Adventure… that’s an awesome title! It makes me think, “Aw yeah! We’re goin’ on a huge adventure!”. Heheh.
I too hope it’s the name change, =D. I’d like to think this game is the next Adventure game, even if it’s a completely new plot.
The name could change as it has in the past. Remember Sonic Wild Fire was a pretty common name for Sonic and the Secret Rings.
I don’t think Sega could get away with calling a game Sonic Adventure 3 because the significance of such a title would be lost on many new fans with the last Adventure game being released ages ago (not counting Sonic Rush Adventure). Anyway, I don’t mind the Unleashed name because it fits the whole Were-Wolf angle they are pulling with Sonic.
Sonic World Adventure? Sounds like one of those educational cartoon movies where they have a random, dum character who travels the world for your education. These movies are lame, cheaply made and boring. Sonic Unleashed is a video game not a movie. Sonic is not dumb, that’s Knuckle’s job. Where as he cares for the safety of world, he does not care that much for your education.
Like Paul Street said, the “Unleashed” part of the title matches with the WereHog part of the game. Anyway he travels around the world in many, many Sonic games. Traveling around the world is nothing new for our blue hero.
If you ask me Sonic Unleashed sounds better as well.
Knuckles isn’t dumb, just a bit ’special’.
“Knuckles isn’t dumb, just a bit ’special’.” with a capital R!
