Outside of the content being created in Dreams, this might just be the best Sonic the Hedgehog game in quite some time. A meaty DLC pack has released in Minecraft, featuring the iconic blue blur and his band of furry friends. Billed as an “infinite 3D runner”, the content will see you sprinting through distinct interpretations of Green Hill Zone and Chemical Plant Zone.
Judging by the trailer, there’s also a hub area filled with memorabilia – including a Chao Garden. You can grab this from within the Minecraft Marketplace right now, and also look out for a free themed Character Creator item as well. Good stuff – let us know in the comments section if you’ll be giving it a spin.

Lol is it that hard for gaming journalists to do a Sonic article without referring to the past? Joke's been done to death since 2010.
@Sjmaster If by joke you mean the Sonic series then it’s actually been done to death since 2006.
@Sjmaster i feel bad for kid gamers today since they don't have nothing worth reminiscing about , since devs keep looking back so much . imagine telling your little brother thats playing n sane trilogy that crash bandicoot came out like 30 years ago lol .
I thought it was a lego set and I was super excited
Such a disrespect for Sonic and this is how they celebrate his anniversary
I will argue this : the Sonic concept is a bad one for games.
-> for 2D platformers : you go too quick and you die, or get stuck right in the middle of a jump or a run / you go to slow the game is a slog
-> for 3D platformers : if you give it enough sense of speed, it becomes a simple endless runner-like game, or just a racing game / if there is not enough speed, it's just a 3D platformer where the character is is very hard to handle
And I say that as someone who played (and finished) the first Sonic on MasterSystem back in the day. What seemed cool and different and edgy at that time has been shown to be just bad design imo.
Now I'll duck before people throw anything at me
"Sonic bad please like"
This looks like a pretty neat mod actually.
@Olmaz ok so thankfully I'm not the only one who thinks Sonic games are fundamentally broken since the beginning, that's good to know lol
Sonic Mania is very good. I also really liked Sonic Generations.
@clvr Thx dear sonic-is-broken-mate!
I just had to let that out at one point, and i thought a passing article about a small DLC in Minecraft was the safer place. I wouldn't dare write that in the future article about the reveal of Sonic Mania 2, I'd be sent to eternal commentator purgatory!
@Olmaz very wise of you, my friend lol
I'm glad I could share some solidarity with you ahahahah
Every time I see Sonic-related news I ask to myself what kind of miracle lets it still exist and keep pumping out new releases lol
Hard pass, never understood what makes Minecraft so damn popular.
