Roger Craig Smith, the voice of Sonic in video games, is fueling the imagination of franchise fans. In an interview, the actor admitted that he cannot reveal details, but barely managed to hide his emotions.
He confirmed his participation in the June IGN Live event, calling it "massive" and assuring that "exciting" surprises are being prepared for Sonic's 35th anniversary.
2026 has become a special year for the blue hedgehog. In January, Sega officially announced the celebration of the brand's anniversary, promising collaborations, collector's editions, fan meetings, and "new surprises" throughout the year. Recently, an age rating for the mysterious project Sonic Frontiers Definitive Edition was spotted in Korea, fueling rumors of a possible remaster of this part of the series.
Smith recently voiced Sonic in the racing game Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds, which regularly receives updates with new characters.
What exactly has Sega prepared for the anniversary? It will become known this summer during the IGN Live broadcast.
