The Next Sonic Can’t Get Lost in Paperwork
Sega has been dead silent about the next Sonic, with fans eagerly awaiting any new information. That wait may soon end.
With the help of a couple reliable tipsters, TSSZ has put together pieces of what appears to be a project dubbed Sonic Lost World. We must stress this could literally be anything, but we remain confident in the strong possibility of the information pointing toward a new Sonic project.
First, there’s the trademark. Tipster AugieD let us know of an entry on the European Union’s Trade Marks and Designs Registration Office. The singular Sonic Lost World is clearly registered to Sega via an agent in the United Kingdom. Furthermore, it appears the mark went live just yesterday on the 15th.
Categories classified in the entry include slots in computer, video and mobile games. We don’t want to extrapolate too much out of that detail because, again, it could mean anything. What it almost certainly means is that this is a game. Where it ends up is anyone’s guess.
Then, there’s the domain. Another Twitter tipster, Noku, alerted us to a domain registration for soniclostworlds.com, clearly set up by a Sega Europe employee. The singular soniclostworld.com is also similarly registered.
We are not treating this information as rumor. Something is clearly happening behind the scenes, and with the help of our eagle-eyed tipsters, we’re able to corroborate and bring at least a piece of it to you right now. When we know more, so will you.

Before all you laxisdasical Sonic fans get your hopes up because of the two simple phrases “red herring” and “lost world” (and “SA3″ somehow being mentioned in almost every article’s comment section), remember what the world in general thinks of the franchise. Among all my searches on that subject, I found this site’s commentary particularly refreshing:

Besides, it’s just a game.
Well the later posts do have a point, the high point of the series was and still is Sonic 3K 😛
They have a point about the length too. I know times have changed and people want stuff to last a long time for the money they pay, but all the old games only had 6-7 Zones with 2-3 Acts. You can blast through them at break neck speed and win the game in an hour if you so choose. But they are still some of, if not the best entries in the series, even Sega themselves call it the Golden Age. Hell even the re-release of Sonic 1 proves that people can get a heck of a lot of fun out of a one hour game. People don’t really need it to be padded to hell and back and try to force it to be longer, they just need a game made with as much care, love and attention to detail as the original series, a game that’s so much of a blast to play that you don’t even think about the fact its short time spent wise.
anyone remember the Summer of Sonic Website from earlier?
well the shadows of classic sonic and metal sonic from CD got me thinking.
what if the Lost world was little planet?
the game doesn’t have to be Sonic 4, but it can be a 3D game that has something to do with Little planet.
Sounds dark-themed, and also surprisingly not catchy or cool as other main games’ titles.
But that’s all I’m saying for now.
by the title “sonic LOST WORLD” if it is in fact a new game i think its gonna be the final installment in the storybook series which is awesome the storybook games have some of the best stories; the gameplay is usually crap though XD
Why revisit the lost Echidna tribe? What more do we need to know about them? Nothing! And why would that even be a Sonic game? That’s definitely a game more suited for Knuckles as the lead character.
Smh at the very least you guys could think a bit outside of the “fan-game” box.
