Both The Game Awards 2021 producer Geoff Keighley and SEGA appear to be hinting at a new Sonic announcement during this week’s annual event.
The Game Awards 2021 is taking place this Thursday, and ahead of the event, producer Keighley replied to a question in a thread about reveals during the event. At one point Keighley was asked whether he’s a Sonic fan, after which he replied that this is indeed the case, followed by an eyes emoji.
Very much so! 👀
