Sonic Speed: Director Unleashes Major Clues About Sonic 4’s Amy Rose Gameplay

The Evolution of Sonic: Unlocking New Characters and Storylines

As the Sonic cinematic universe continues to grow, we sat down with Jeff Fowler, director of the Sonic franchise, to discuss the future of the series and the introduction of two new fan-favorite characters: Metal Sonic and Amy Rose.

The Birth of a New Era

The mid-credits scene in Sonic the Hedgehog 3 marked a significant turning point in the franchise, introducing Metal Sonic and Amy Rose to the mix. But when did Jeff Fowler know he wanted to expand the franchise with these characters?

"We actually had the idea pretty early, during storyboarding," Jeff explained. "We love doing these teasers, and with [Sonic the Hedgehog] having 30-plus years of games, there are so many amazing characters. We’re all dying to get a female character in the mix with Amy, but at the same time, to honor how they were both introduced in Sonic CD. So it felt very cool to honor that chronology and have them simultaneously introduced."

Breaking the Mold

As we discussed the introduction of new characters, Jeff emphasized the importance of honoring the original stories that made them iconic. "We never put these characters in lightly – it’s always because we think they’re going to bring something interesting and new to the story."

Casting Call

As the project progresses, Josh and his team will be working to find the perfect voice for Metal Sonic and Amy Rose. "Sometimes, in most of his incarnations, Metal Sonic doesn’t speak. That’s not to say that once the story and scripting process begins, there won’t be the question asked, ‘What if we did give him a voice?’" he noted. "All those conversations have yet to be had."

The Next Chapter

The introduction of Metal Sonic and Amy Rose marks a new era in the Sonic franchise, and we can’t wait to see how these characters will shape the story. With Sonic the Hedgehog 4 on the horizon, keep an eye out for more updates on the cast of characters and the voice actors who will bring them to life.

Sonic the Hedgehog 3 is now available for digital rental and purchase on January 21. Stay tuned for more exclusive updates and behind-the-scenes peeks at the world of Sonic!
