Siliconera writer Spencer asked Sonic 4 producer Takashi Iizuka how work on new episodes is going. Iizuka’s response was “We named Sonic the Hedgehog 4: Episode 1, so there will be an episode 2. Since this year is the 20th anniversary of Sonic we wanted to focus on Sonic Generations… We don’t have a release date or anything, but, we can tell you it will be in the near future.”
