SEGA has finally revealed what the mysterious 'Sonic & Friends' branding is for in an official reveal teaser posted earlier today; it's a new series of animated shorts destined for the Japanese company's TikTok channel.
Announced on the publisher's social media channel, the new series presented Sonic and his pals as cute 'chibi' style 3D characters, no doubt getting into all kinds of fun.
Speculation about what Sonic & Friends was going to be spread like wildfire a month ago when a trademark for the name appeared on Japanese websites, with further details suggesting that it was related to a new video game. A logo was more recently discovered, that evoked the same kind of child-like appearance that has eventually been revealed here.
Turns out it was just a TikTok show this whole time. However, it's possible that, depending on the relative success of this animated series, SEGA may explore further merchandising opportunities with the new branding. And that may involve some kind of video game (although if it did, we suspect it would be more like a mobile game at this point).
SEGA Japan released a teaser video above, which you can also find on its TikTok channel. What do you think of it? Let us know in the comments section below!
