SEGA purchased Rovio a little while ago now, so it’s a surprise it’s taken this long for Sonic the Hedgehog and Angry Birds to meet. But as of right now, the two franchises have clashed in five smartphone games, through until 21st March. This includes Angry Birds 2, Angry Birds Dream Blast, Angry Birds Friends, Sonic Dash, and Sonic Forces: Speed Battle.
Each event is unique and specific to the parent game, but as you’d expect there are rewards for participating and unique unlocks. SEGA is describing this as the “crossover event of the year”, but it’s clearly got its tongue firmly lodged in its cheek. It’ll be interesting to see whether any of Sonic’s console outings add Angry Birds in the future as well.

Sega’s working toward their dream future that their cancelled game Hyenas foreshadowed.
Finally, I have been patiently waiting for this since never
@BeerIsAwesome I think sega hate sonic too judging by the amount of terrible games the poor little hedgehog has “starred” in!
This headline is funny asf
@BeerIsAwesome
These freaking freaks won't ever be quenched. When will they learn that their actions have consequences!?
I sent at least 3 emails to Sega asking for this.
Headline got me wheezing 😂
We all knew it would happen sooner or later. Can I just get a console port of Sonic Dream Team instead?
Also, I stand by the opinion that the angry bird movies were pretty solid. The first good videogame movies if you ask me👀
A billion dollars well spent, Sega!
angry birds was the ***** when i was in highschool .
Again with the "no one asked for" stuff. Guys, "demand" and "consent" are pretty different terms.
I thought the crossover was a new "Angry Sonic" game where you shoot Sonic w/ a slingshot and then he bounces around at super speed all over the place, so part Angry Birds, part brick breaker. So this isn't that I'm just going to have to assume it exists already. 🤷♂️
I'll give them credit for doing all 5 games at once, might get people who play a couple of them to try the others. So, no harm done. "Angry Sonic" does need to be a thing though, the cast of Sonic matches up pretty well w/ the different birds I think - Tails, Knuckles, Shadow etc.
SEGA never disappoints when it comes to chasing trends from 10 years ago.
Yeah I agree with the headline, nobody asked for this lol
Didn't SEGA buy the Angry birds IP and developer? This would be why. They are cross advertising their IP.
@BeerIsAwesome @Specky Its not like have any respect for their mascot they dump him in anything.
And i downloaded Angry Birds 2 how to MT in the worst way oh OMG.
@BeerIsAwesome Im just trting to make a point its not like they have much regard for Sonic as mascot nitjing more nothing less.
@BeerIsAwesome If he has a bad game i will be first to say it but the annoying part is he doesnt have that many bad games Mario does he? I think Sonic is a cool character im just disappointed are so easy with what quality games he has. The last 3D game showed that with a lot more Polish the game wouls have been so much better. And no worries we all have things we like and have a special place.
@Flaming_Kaiser
It appears that you're not aware of the freaking freaks kid
@BeerIsAwesome forces is genuinely bad
Push Square, this is not the first time Sonic has crossed over with Angry Birds. They first meet in Angry Birds Epic and Sonic Run.
It will be interesting to see Sonic in another Castle Crusher rip off...
@BeerIsAwesome I agree that Sonic Frontiers was eventually good bur its a pity Sega didn't push back the release you only get one first impression.
I really dont like patching it eventually approach its a pity that this is the new normal at the release the game shouls be good at the starting point with some small patching polishing it up to be best thing.
And i know that Mario is playing it safe because they know what works and are way more protective od their mascot characters. Again Sonic is not bad they just take way to many risks and cant commit to a formula or better said a path and thats a pity.
If you want a real crime look at the Metal Gear Survive review that got a 8/10 😳
@Specky That can be the case but it does not mean i have to like. Profit as the only thing that big corp looks at is a disaster waiting to happen.
@BeerIsAwesome I agree with that eventually good isn't always bad but it seems to be the standard now and most of the time its for the wrong reasons and that is a pity.
We all know if thet could have gotten away with how they released Cyberpunk they would have done it. And im going to be real here i will never buy it it was a crime hiw tjet released it. Which they knew upfront and lied about it.
A NMS yeah the game was disappointing to people but it worked and some people really liked it even better they added things and made it so much better over time plus it was a really small studio. With Rainbow 6 i really can't comment on that because i dont know what happened there.
