Voting Underway on Facebook for next Storybook Sonic

The Next SonicAlmost Assured Confirmation Series will Continue

The last poll on Sonic’s Facebook page–concerning what secondary Sonic character you’d like to see return–had ramifications that seemed a little less serious than the present one.

The latest poll asks what genre you’d like to see the next Sonic storybook series set in.  It’s almost a sure confirmation that the Storybook series will continue after Sonic and the Black Knight, and the timing is important; it could mean your input determines the direction of the next game.

How can that be such a certainty?  One of our exclusive interviews from the New York Comic Con in February revealed that the development cycle for the storybook series is two years, and begins almost immediately after one game is finished.  Sonic and the Black Knight was finished as early as January, and that means the next title presumed for 2011 is still early in those stages, possibly as early as molding the core concept.

The current choices include Film Noir, Horror, Sci-Fi, Western/Cowboy, “Other,” and perhaps the most appropriate and plausible, Greek Myths and Legends.  You have to wonder, with such detail, if that last one is a big hint.

You need to have Facebook polls enabled on your profile to vote, and you may need to become a fan of Sonic the Hedgehog in order to participate.  TSSZ News will keep tabs of the results just in case, but if nothing else, the poll is yet another example of how closely Sega is listening to Sonic fandom in these times.
