As it turns out, Sonic will indeed be present at this year's Game Awards, and in a big way too. It's just been revealed online that we're in for a double-bill of hedgehog action during Geoff Keighley's show, so prepare yourselves for some serious speed and attitude.
Firstly, we will be treated to the debut trailer for Sonic the Hedgehog 2, the sequel to the live-action movie starring Jim Carrey and Ben Schwartz. Speaking of which, the film just got its first poster:
Secondly, Keighley himself has confirmed that we'll be seeing the upcoming game, supposedly named Sonic Frontiers, during the show as well:
That's a lot of hedgehog to handle at once, but we've no doubt Sonic fans are super excited for all this news. We're certainly hopeful that the game shows well — the mascot could certainly use a half-decent game.
Anyway, The Game Awards is going full Sonic on us. Are you excited? Have a chilli dog in the comments section below.

Man that is a great poster!... Weird enough, the only part of it I don't like is Jim Carrey. It almost looks like he was awkwardly photoshopped in there. Bit of a touch up though and it'd be great haha.
I surprisingly liked the movie, so I'm kinda sorta keen on seeing the sequel.
Couldn't give less of a damn about the game though.
I also think the poster looks fantastic!
My birthday month is going to be big with this movie! I'm really going to watch the show tomorrow night!
Remember when they showed the first one's trailer and everybody hated Sonic's design so much they had to redo it?
Glad they did because the movie wasn't too bad!
Nice poster. I think the trailer will be coming tomorrow.
Poster is great and very on brand with sonic 2 the game
@Rob_230 Except for one little detail..... Tails' face. It's completely wrong.
I'm a Sonic mark so I'm really excited to see the second film, the first wasn't nearly as bad as I was expecting, I think the poster looks great as well. Nice seeing an almost Buzz Bomber. Hopefully the game shown is Mania 2.
The film wasn't half bad.
The later games, however, have been the full bad.
The first one is up on Netflix now, been meaning to watch it…
As much as I loved the Sonic games on the Genesis and Adventure 1 and 2 on Dreamcast, I struggle to get hyped for the games these days. Generations was the last one I really liked. That said, can't wait for the next movie, the first was great, one of the few game-to-movie adaptations I really enjoyed.
Awesome, I liked the first Sonic movie and this poster gives me hope for the sequel too and even though I've been disappointed on many occasions, I'll always get excited for a new Sonic game
My kids loved the Sonic movie and from a 16bit era fan... I have to say they did an ok job with it. Looking forward to taking my kids to the new one in April.
That movie poster looks great! Shockingly excited for the sequel. As for the game I'm really pulling for them. Hopefully they have a good idea for this one. Sonic Team is really the only team from Sega that's disappointed me in the past few years so hopefully this game puts them back on track.
If it doesn't work out, feel free to give us a Mania 2 Sega!
Curious to see the new game.
@JB_Whiting They probably just altered his design from the first movie.
I look forward to tomorrow's event, super excited about both the movie and game!
