The cast will feature both AoStH and SatAM characters, with Satan/Dark Prince and Arle as unlockable bosses.

IMO without Long John Baldry there's absolutely no point in invoking AoStH

Considering Mean Bean Machine's cast, I don't think you really have a choice!

Eggman uses the Phantom Ruby and Chaos Emeralds to alter time, putting the SatAM Robotnik into the AoStH universe, and the Freedom Fighters have to stop him from roboticizing that universe's fauna.

I predict a Sonic Mania 2 announcement. Feels too soon for a 3D Sonic announcement.

It's way too soon for a Mania 2 announcement too, it only came out six months ago. The comic is obviously in there, but game wise you're probably looking at a mobile game and if we're lucky a HD re-release of some sort.

Announcing another mediocre Sonic Boom game feels like a pretty safe bet.

I don't know if it still works but you should be able to revert to an earlier Forever-free version if you owned it previously.

I want them to announce a remastered Christian Whitehead Sonic Genesis Collection including Sonic 3 & Knuckles, coming soon for the Nintendo Switch.

Mania plus all those games on one cart seems like a no-brainer.

I'm pretty sure someone uncovered DLC plans for Mania in a Steam listing or something, so that's probably the extent of the announcement where that game's concerned.

I really doubt they'd be bringing Tyson Hesse along, and crediting him as the "animation director of Sonic Mania", if there weren't gonna be some Sonic Mania information at the panel.

They'll do a sequel to Sonic Forces along some lines, otherwise the time they spent building the engine will be wasted. Whether they'll double down on the OC stuff is anyone's guess.

The Hedgehog Engine 2 is, again, a graphical one, and it doesn't need to be a direct sequel to Forces or have the same kind of gameplay to be usable.

They used its predecessor on Unleashed, Generations, and Lost World, and the last one is a very different kind of game from the previous ones, so. Yeah.

If we get a fully fleshed out Forces with longer levels and more to the war mechanic than a percentage bar and a story hook then I will be perfectly happy. Maybe they can do something closer to Shadow the Hedgehog, with a few warring factions and agency on the player's part to change where the story ends up.

Someone on Gamebanana is modding out the weird burst of acceleration that is the cause of so many deaths. They're doing Modern Sonic first, but it's the avatar that needs it most. The number of times I've lurched into a chasm is insane, god knows why they thought it was a good idea.

I would venture to say that Sonic Mania is more popular than the comics ever have been, so I would credit him as animation director even if it was a presentation exclusively about the comics.

Either way, again, the comic stuff and Sega stuff don’t tend to run together at convention stuff from what I recollect. And if he were there to announce comic stuff I’d sooner assume they’d send the writer or editor, not one of several artists.

There's a reason they were willing to delay Forces past the 25th Anniversary.

...partly because they didn't start development until late 2016, but you get the point

Lots of content, bug-free or reasonably fun. Pick two, we don't have the budget for three.

Bug free and reasonably fun, but short as heck, and the side content is very obviously there as cheap, easy padding.
