A Better Look Into the Unknown, Perhaps
It may be the most popular Sonic title you’ve never played. Long since canceled for the Sega Saturn, Sonic X-Treme has avoided falling out of favor with fans simply on the efforts of continued research and inquiries.
Its continued relevance largely rests on the continued steady stream of new information on the ill-fated Sonic project, and it appears we’re about to get another taste of what could have been. Chris Senn, a designer of the project, has teased new information since late last week, to be released this week. It now appears that’s not going to happen, but the promise of more–and soon–still stands.
“This week is definitely OUT for new Xtreme stuff,” Senn said in a terse post today at his Senntient.com forums. “Sorry! Will get to it ASAP.”
How soon is soon is to be determined, but when the time comes, it should be of great interest to Sonic researchers and classic fans alike. We’ll be sure to follow up on any new developments here.

Wonder if this Xtreme will be for PC since now he`s back to work on it
I wonder if the full game will be released in some form, or will it suffer the same fate as Duke Nukem Forever?
Sonic’s 20th anni game anyone.
?
A playable Sonic X-Treme for Sonic’s 20th anniversary? That would be enough of a gift for me.
Holy crap! we are being watched at senntient!!!!
Sorry to burst everyones bubble here but.. Chris isn’t working on X-treme anymore and the game isn’t being released due to he doesn’t the game engine itself. Besides Chris has been teasing us with information for the past year nearly.
Listen, I dont think anybody is getting a engine. there is a VERY VERY low chance of that. All the post says if new level designs and and taira designs :/
And chris senn isnt back to work on xtreme. I assure you that
sorry to drop everyones hopes :/
We do, however, encourage everyone to use what resources we have to make their own versions. Of course, several members have tried and failed, so it’s up to those, who want this to happen, to give it a shot.
How happy would you guys be with it on the xbox live arcade. The real original game.
I see a rumor, that the Sega Saturns Game will be downloables in XBLA and PSN, maybe, and just maybe SEGA decides finish and launch this mistery title.
It would be interesting if we have Sonic X-Treme on the Nintendo 3DS.
It’d be interesting, but very unlikely. When most companies, including one that makes video games, scrap a project, it’s usually forgotten. I doubt it would be any different with the Blue Blur himself. Also, Kurisu, A.K.A. Chris Senn, doesn’t work for SEGA anymore; plus, he does not have the rights to release the game itself, so that would be…a little troubling if something like THAT happened.
But to say if SEGA, or someone else, decided to pull this off. It would probably be the nicest surprise Sonic could ever get.
Agreed. I freakin love the nights tech demo. maybe we could port that to ds?
