Sonic Team head Takashi Iizuka would love to make a Sonic RPG before he retires from Sega, though that’s just a dream.
Iizuka was interviewed by YouTube channel Good Vibes Gaming for a preview of the forthcoming Sonic x Shadow Generations and discussed whether he’d ever work on a Sonic RPG in future.
“Personally, I really like role-playing games,” he said. “The RPG game format is a lot of fun and I’ve even thought to myself ‘you know, for the past 30 years we haven’t done a Sonic RPG’. And I’m questioning myself. ‘Why haven’t we done a Sonic RPG in all this time? How have we gotten to 30 years with no RPGs?!’
