Sonic Boom

Last year SEGA launched an ambitious new project related to one of its more popular characters, Sonic the Hedgehog, called Sonic Boom. The Sonic Boom project is a reboot of the Sonic the Hedgehog series, featuring new designs for all characters and a brand new setting. The project included a pair of video games released for Nintendo Wii U and 3DS as well as a TV Show produced by SEGA in collaboration with OuiDo! Productions and more. While the video games have failed to become as popular as SEGA expected, the TV Show has managed to become way more popular. All those who have enjoyed it will be happy to know that a second Sonic Boom season is currently in production.

The news has been confirmed during the Marché Internationale de Programmes Communications which has been held in Cannes, France by LER, the company which distributed the first Sonic Boom season. The company has confirmed that the Sonic Boom season two is currently in production by
OuiDo! Productions and SEGA. We have no idea on when it will air but it’s already been confirmed that broadcasting rights have been purchased by Discovery Kids and MEGAMAX / Minimax, for Italy and Eastern Europe, with talks currently underway for other territories. Also, talks are currently underway for a possible DVD / Blu-ray release.

As mentioned above, the Sonic Boom series also received two video games, released last year on Nintendo Wii U and 3DS. The Wii U title, called Sonic Boom Rise of Lyric, has been met with a very negative reception from critics due to the many glitches included in the game as well as for its bad camera system, controls and combat. The Wii U and 3DS games also failed to perform well on the market, with their combined sales making them the worst selling Sonic the Hedgehog games ever released.

Despite the games’ bad commercial results, another Sonic Boom title will be released in the future on Nintendo 3DS. Sonic Boom: Fire and Ice will be released sometime next year and it will play not too differently from the previous 3DS Sonic Boom game Shattered Crystal. The addition of the fire and ice elements will also spice up the experience considerably, with players having to use the elements to solve some simple puzzles and defeat enemies.

Helldivers 2 proved to be a surprising success, highlighting the unpredictable nature of the gaming industry. As per Circana analyst Mat Piscatella, it currently ranks as Sony’s seventh highest grossing game in the United States to date, trailing behind a trio of Spider-Man titles, a couple of God of War games, and Ghost of Tsushima. It’s only been on the market for less than three months and is not even being sold at full price.

According to Piscatella, a significant factor contributing to the game’s success is its release on PC. He mentioned that, based on Circana’s Player Engagement Tracker, the game has consistently ranked first in terms of active users on Steam in the US since its launch, including April. The release of Helldivers 2 on both PlayStation and PC has been an extraordinary triumph.

He stated that Helldivers 2 has already become the seventh highest-grossing Sony-published game in history. Without a PC, it would not currently be considered one of the top 20 games. While I’m emphasizing the success of the PC SKU, it’s important to note that I’m not disregarding the success of the PlayStation SKU. I just wanted to clarify that. This launch has proven to be incredibly successful.

Prior to the release of Helldivers 2, Sony made it clear that they would be launching their live service-style titles simultaneously on both the PS5 and PC. The success of this approach will undoubtedly strengthen their strategic vision. It will be intriguing to witness if the company reveals official sales figures in the near future, as the title appears to be one of the platform holder’s most successful sellers to date.

Shift Up, the Korean developer, seems to be reconsidering its contentious alterations to the Stellar Blade outfit. In a message to fans, they have urged everyone to stay tuned for updates and expressed gratitude for the passionate feedback from players. For those who may not be aware, a petition gained significant attention over the weekend when gamers discovered changes made to a few of the game’s costumes through a day-one patch.

The launch day update includes a fantastic New Game + mode, but some players were disappointed by the changes made to protagonist Eve’s outfit. These alterations sparked debates about censorship. Director Hyung-Tae Kim later clarified that this was the studio’s original vision, but he acknowledged that it may require further persuasion to win over users. Internal discussions were also underway to address any concerns.

There is no definitive confirmation regarding the reversal of the outfits, but considering the language used in the statement and the widespread controversy surrounding the alterations, it is highly likely that a future patch will restore the original costumes. If you want to get a sneak peek at all of Eve’s different outfits and learn how to unlock them, be sure to take a look at our comprehensive guide, All Outfits and How to Get Them.

Unfortunately, Stellar Blade will not be available on PC, at least not initially. Currently, the game is only available on PlayStation 5 starting on April 26, 2024.

Regrettably, it appears that there is no indication of a potential PC release for Stellar Blade in the future. In most cases, trailers for PlayStation timed-exclusive titles conclude with a disclaimer that specifies the duration of their exclusivity.

In the Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth launch trailer, it is explicitly stated that the game will only be accessible on other platforms starting on May 29, 2024.

Regrettably, when it comes to the stellar blade, there is no indication of such.

It’s important to note that Sony Entertainment Interactive published Stellar Blade, unlike Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth. This means that the chances of it being released on PC or other platforms in the near future are even slimmer.

However, it is worth noting that there is a chance the game might be released on PC in the future, given PlayStation’s track record of bringing their exclusive titles to the platform. However, it could be a while before this comes to fruition.
