Today Sega announced a new game in the Sonic franchise, but it's probably not the one fans were hoping for. A follow-up to last year's

OW: For the story, we tried to tie it more to what's concurrently going on in the animated series. Eggman is a big character in the animated series. He's basically the co-star with Sonic. A lot of the episodes revolve around Eggman's shenanigans and his devious plots, and then Sonic is confronted with that, or he helps Eggman out of some trouble because Eggman's gotten in over his head. We didn't introduce any new mysterious ancient alien race or anything like we did in the previous games. We thought that that was just not the way to go this time.

Is there any StreetPass functionality that will be put into the game? Or Amiibo?

AW: We have StreetPass planned, but we're not detailing out what that is yet. And we have the local play for the bot racing. Those are the only two additional features that we have in there.

Sonic Boom: Fire & Ice is coming out this holiday.
