Yakuza Producer Wants to Work on Sonic Games | Game Rant
The Yakuza series and Sonic the Hedgehog couldn't possibly be any more different. One is an action role-playing beat 'em up, and the other is a speedrunning platformer. However, a producer on the Yakuza series is interested in working on a Sonic game.
Yakuza producer Daisuke Sato recently appeared in an interview as a part of Sega's 60th Anniversary. He was asked if there was another Sega series that he would like to work on, and Sato quickly said that he would like to get involved with Sonic the Hedgehog at least once in his career.
The history of Sonic the Hedgehog games is interesting, as the franchise has been around for almost 30 years. Sonic is a fan-favorite for many, but it would be fair to say the games have been hit and miss over the years. The 2D Sega Genesis games are well-loved, but the series has seen some more prominent hiccups since the beginning of the 3D era. One thing that can be praised in the series is how it tries out all types of creative ideas, including a Sonic-themed RPG on the DS. Perhaps a take on these games from a totally different perspective could work with Yakuza developers.
The Yakuza games have been well-received, and have sold millions worldwide. It would be very interesting to see a different take on Sonic the Hedgehog, as the games are often well conceptualized, with interesting ideas. A new Sonic game that had elements of what makes Yakuza special would certainly be intriguing to see.
