It’s Sonic’s 30th birthday today. The millennial blue hedgehog is celebrating tomorrow with a symphony orchestra event that will perform music from across all 30 years of Sonic’s history. In addition, there will be a performance from Crush 40, a rock band that is well known within the Sonic community for performing a variety of songs in the 3D series such as the theme song for Sonic Adventure and Escape From the City from Sonic Adventure 2.
The livestreamed event will take place on Sonic the Hedgehog’s official Twitch and YouTube channels at 12pm PT / 3pm ET.
It took a bit, but Sega and Sonic have started to ramp up the festivities for Sonic’s 30th in 2021. Over the last few weeks, Sega has revealed three new games: Sonic Origins – A collection of classic Genesis games, Sonic Colors Ultimate – An enhanced re-release of the Sonic Colors, and a mysterious new 3D Sonic game that has so far only received a brief teaser.
Sega also revealed a teaser for the Sonic the Hedgehog 2 movie, a new Sonic animated series on Netflix called Sonic Prime, and a short-form animation to accompany Sonic Colors Ultimate known as Sonic Colors: Rise of the Wisps.
