The head of Sonic Team recently confirmed that the company seriously considered ending the iconic series. This breakdown examines the timeline of these internal discussions and how the negative reception of an early Sonic movie trailer played a pivotal role in reversing the company's stance on a potential Sega game cancellation.
Beyond the films, we look at the broader context of the 2015 Sega corporate restructuring.
