Sonic Leaks, Rumours & Speculation

[modest parcel]

whispers into Iizuka's ear "Do it, you know you want to..."

[prime hearth]

if they've already distanced shadow from having guns back then they sure ain't giving sonic one lol

[smoky summit]

Honestly though

The movie designs have like

Human proportioned limb lengths outside of the head hands and feet

[modest parcel]

It's gonna be a mech suit if anything

[prime hearth]

yeah but you're still not getting a gun in movie sonic's hands are ye

[smoky summit]

Which is fair

[untold kayak]

I mean, Ned Flanders of all people got guns

[scarlet ether]

got reminded that the current Fortnite island is looking to be disabled around June so here's my purely delusional prediction

[prime hearth]

they couldn't even get movie shadow an actual gun he got babys first taser

[modest parcel]

They keep pulling the mech out for the characters that don't "fit" it'll happen again for Sonic if he is playable

[untold kayak]

[smoky summit]

I could've sworn that Dragon Ball characters are in Fortnite

[scarlet ether]

they are

[pulsar horizon]

They are yea

[untold kayak]

they are, with various degrees of quality

[scarlet ether]

they have been for like 4 years now

[pulsar horizon]

With no updated models

[coarse ferry]

If they are going to do a char in a mech it's pretty much eggman or tails

[modest parcel]

I've seen the rage when he loses it, he's just one bad day away

[smoky summit]

I feel like Dragon Ball is at the cash grab stage of the franchise's life where it kind of doesn't matter anymore

[still epoch]

I agree

[untold kayak]

He's not the Joker for that type of that, and he's too selfaware to let that anger get him to wield a gun anyway

[pulsar horizon]

Hence his catchphrase

[prime hearth]

thats the thing, I could absolutely see Ned with a gun cos the simpsons team thought it'd be funny at the time

[prime hearth]

I just don't think sega/sonic team would do that lol

[pulsar horizon]

Wasn’t that Homer telling him to keep people

[untold kayak]

that's a dream where he started to resent Homer, but he was aware he was being bad for having such feelings

[prime hearth]

its a tossup between "potential dent to brand image by giving the cast AK47s" and "fortnite is popular and will get us marketing points" and I wonder where they're gonna end up

my money's still on no but christ knows lol

[modest parcel]

The Treehouse of Horror stuff exists, we aren't purity testing characterization of simpsons chars lol

It's the premise of jokes and that's the fundamentals

[smoky summit]

Btw total side tangent I just want to go ahead and appreciate that Sonic Man's helmet isn't just an attempt to copy paste Sonic's quill design

[prime hearth]

(ironically enough tho lego fortnite's the easiest bit to get sonic in, just shove in the minifig and job done)

[pulsar horizon]

I think this was the weirdest crossover tbh. Like I honestly would have never imagined Danny and Sam holding guns

[rocky leaf]

that looks so bad

[untold kayak]

I mean, even in Treehouse Ned is extremely hesitant to do the act

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=01ZSsj6SYio

[rugged otter]

they both look so

weird

[untold kayak]

and mind you this is the time where Ned knew he had to kill Homer or else Springfield goes boom

[prime hearth]

the lass on the left looks okay but does the bloke on the right always have a ridiculously tiny head

[rugged otter]

anyway only way I'd take sonic in fort is short
and only way I'd take fort is if it was gone

[smoky summit]

Tbh these fortnite designs can be salvaged if they could just give them bigger heads

[pulsar horizon]

I wouldn’t mind the characters as sidekicks

I just don’t see them as skins

[modest parcel]

My point of contention is that simpsons does not care if Ned uses a gun outside of the context of their own jokes, Iizuka on the other hand

[untold kayak]

They can get some leeway because the Phantom gadgets have various degrees of danger on them tbf

[smoky summit]

I find it hilarious that Homer simpson looks accurate besides his legs being extended

Feels like a joke they'd do in an episode

[pulsar horizon]

Now characters I do want to see in Fort is Ben 10 and Rook Blonko

[pulsar horizon]

https://tenor.com/view/aarcade-ben-10-omniverse-rook-fish-gif-15999761728175708579

[prime hearth]

wait his head is MASSIVE there

this is killing me oh my god I did NOT realise it was this bad 💀

[coarse ferry]

Yeah........

Makes me worried over how they'l handle Ed, edd, and eddy

[rugged otter]

this could be sonic........... 🥹

tiny head long limbs sonc

[coarse ferry]

He'll be far worse 💀

[rugged otter]

tiny head long limbs separate eyes sonic

[smoky summit]

Yeah generally cartoon characters have thin limbs and big heads

[rugged otter]

something about the way fort deals with some character skins really looks like a silly mod idea someone had except you give your money or grind your bones to get it

[untold kayak]

sometimes it can look really well

and sometimes really strange

[pulsar horizon]

They aren’t in mechs apparently so

[coarse ferry]

https://tenor.com/view/dog-dog-staring-at-sun-cute-dog-dog-closed-eyes-dog-staring-at-sunset-gif-10310895250239531072

One of the many reason why I don't gaf about Fortnite collabs

Some can look good, some can look unnatural

[pulsar horizon]

Yeah just look at Goku and Vegeta

[rugged otter]

Miku isn't bad but something feels off, maybe cuz I'm just used to all the other material with her but idk compared to other anime style skins it didn't feel right?

[coarse ferry]

I dislike MIku's model after with crossworld

Like maaaaan her first one does not aged well already 💀

[rugged otter]

there's a slight How to Draw Manga air around it ngl

[past matrix]

The thing about the elongated sonic thing is that it's out of desperation in the face of very slim options.

Because I know that as soon as it were to happen, there would be complaints about him being elongated/throwing off the design philosophies a lot of people preach & live by given some time.

It'd be like post clarity

[untold kayak]

I mean, I rather wait and see what they do

again, fortnite is very coin flip in how they approach stuff

I got lucky that Bleach characters were really good

with only Orihime and Rukia getting tweaks on their proportions

(Though it was really cool to see Fortnite fans love Orihime)

The simpsons ones also are quite good

[silent haven]

they should give him the fuckass springy shoes from unleashed

[wide portal]

They might deadass call it Frontiers 2

[strange estuary]

I never doubted that they would call it Sonic Frontiers 2

[silent haven]

thought i remembered hearing this name before

[strange estuary]

In my opinion, it seems like a pretty plausible scenario

[silent haven]

getting me excited about a robobot port is a special kind of evil send this man to the depths of hell

[coarse ferry]

Planet Robobot is all I need 🗿

[still epoch]

Damn and we had that triple deluxe trademark

[stiff salmon]

eclipse would be fire ngl

[strange estuary]

If they had to come up with something new, it definitely would be something more creative

[hybrid hill]

0-3

[strange estuary]

What does that mean

[raw osprey]

this is inironically the most real information about frontiers 2 lmao

nate is the most credible leaker there is right now

[strange estuary]

I don't think that counts as real information

[hybrid hill]

“the next Sonic game will feature Sonic” ass leak 😂😂

[dawn pumice]

FR

[wheat kindle]

I think the next game title should bring back the trend of having more characters, since we expect more playable characters, with titles like Heroes, Rivals, Riders etc. so I would like that, Rangers like beta Frontiers would be fitting, or something new

Because Sonic Rangers is kind of boring

[dawn pumice]

I think it should focus moreso on the story / gimmick aspect

I don’t necessarily think just cuz it has an s at the end means there’s more playable characters

[wheat kindle]

no yeah, every Sonic game title ends with an s so... I would like it tho, to emphasize the focus on the other characters

But focusing on story (title, and the game focusing on the story in general) would be really cool

a new gimmick will be there 100% yeah

[pulsar horizon]

I’m sorry these choices got me laughing https://x.com/wrenchmaster4/status/2013690180398416368?s=46&t=NzxXkQvD_eB6G-8-XvjXcQ

[ember junco]

Deadass why does anyone think Sonic Man has a shot

[modest parcel]

He doesn't

But it would be funny

[strange estuary]

What's another human instantly recognisable as a Sonic character?

[forest fractal]

The Sonic mascot guy

[pulsar horizon]

Elise

Burger Man

[ember junco]

Eggman

[dusty osprey]

Maria?

[untold kayak]

Eggman is very likely to be a skin

[modest parcel]

I'd put Commander Tower up there

[untold kayak]

his proportions aren't that different from Homer Simpson's

[ember junco]

Nah

[untold kayak]

obviously they would have to be tweaked for the sake of fortnite's body structure but it can work otherwise

[modest parcel]

Okay then throw Gerald in there

The movie version will pull weight for him

[untold kayak]

Gerald can be the hidden one yeah

sometimes they add two-in-one skins

[modest parcel]

[strange estuary]

That's recognisable for the wrong reasons

[modest parcel]

https://tenor.com/view/eggman-nega-eggman-yes-celebrate-celebration-gif-5402088319090122150

[ember junco]

If they wanted recognisable humans

[untold kayak]

I mean, yeah

he can be added as the cheap route

[modest parcel]

Sonic Rush rep....

[untold kayak]

ssjs

[ember junco]

They could also just go with the movies

[strange estuary]

So the Wade Whipple rumours are true...

[modest parcel]

Professor Pickle would be a fan favorite

[forest fractal]

Erm ACKSHULLY its Rivals rep YOU STUPID IDIOT

[modest parcel]

RUSH CAME FIRST SMH

[dusty osprey]

Thr issue with me believing all this is because i dont know if sega would want sonic or whomever in a mechasuit

[pulsar horizon]

Burger man is the best pick to be in Fortnite ngl

[dusty osprey]

But maybe im wrong

[forest fractal]

SO DID I THATS NOTHING TO BE PROUD OF

[modest parcel]

https://tenor.com/view/thats-what-she-said-what-she-said-dirty-joke-joke-laugh-gif-15661968

[ember junco]

If they went with mechs I’d believe it if the concept for the mech is good

Like moreso like the South Park mechs and not the Simpsons Mecha for example

[untold kayak]

mech can work

if they do it like cyclone

the problem with the mecha is that, done wrongly, is very unrecognizable in terms of the series

[dusty osprey]

Anything can work, im just reluctant to think thats desirable to sega

[dusty osprey]

Thats what i mean

We might get long sonic

I will buy long shadow, im a mark for that shit

[untold kayak]

Like Bart's mecha is based on this version of the bike but it has so little of it that it could very well be a fortnite original

Lisa's the one who is very ???

Like I don't see anything that resembles Lisa's

[strange estuary]

Generic smart tech mech

[untold kayak]

And Bart could have a better mecha. They used Marge witch alter, and this one can work with Venom/Hulk body proportions

[strange estuary]

Because... she's smart

[ember junco]

Imo I feel like they’d only do a mech for the Sonic skins for Tails

To have like the height difference and all that

[strange estuary]

Tails would at least fit for a mech

People who want to see Sonic in one are kind of insane

[ember junco]

I’m only ok with Mech Sonic if it’s like the only way to get him in and if the mech looks good

Like preferably I’d want long sonic or alternatively a Sonic sidekick (but Adira said Sidekicks are unlikely)

[untold kayak]

I would like mecha if it is based on the tornado 1

and Tails using the cyclone

[ember junco]

Shadow with like a Gun tank mech

[untold kayak]

that or one of the G.U.N. robots

either of them works

[ember junco]

It probably won’t happen but it’d be cool if Undefeatable was a Jam Track

[untold kayak]

I honestly hope it has a Yui Karasuno loading screen

it would be awesome

[ember junco]

Knowing how Epic are they’d have a Sonic loading screen and just not release it and it rots in the files

[forest fractal]

TO be naive

[ember junco]

I’m very salty about the Fortnitemares and Daft Punk loading screens

[untold kayak]

[ember junco]

They’re so peak 😭

[dusty osprey]

I doubt this tbh

They kinda seperating him from all that

what if its just like, omega

[strange estuary]

Omega mech?

[dusty osprey]

yeah

would be cool

wait wait wait

[untold kayak]

it would be cool

[dusty osprey]

i forgot

have we considered its just gonna be human in sonic themed clothing

they have done that before

[strange estuary]

Aren't the leaks specifying it's going to be skins?

Unless that counts

[dusty osprey]

I mean, they did a skin like that in pub g

I wouldn't put it past em

I don't know if the fans will be pleased , but that hasn't stopped a company from doing stuff before

[ember junco]

Wasn’t there a rumour that they wanted Sonic to actually be playable?

Defaults in Sonic onesies wouldn’t be that

[strange estuary]

They've always wanted to, I'm pretty sure

They just can't really reach a good compromise without making him all stretchy and disproportionate to fit the default rig

[humble drum]

this implies sonic man would be a bad choice
that is false

https://tenor.com/view/sonic-man-sonic-the-hedgehog-sonic06-mr-bisness-sonic-man-sonic06-gif-26915933

[lavish iron]

We need him

https://tenor.com/view/sonic-the-hedgehog-sonic-baseball-mascot-throwing-ball-gif-14256865196939116000

[dawn pumice]

Mmm my mech skin

[ember junco]

I think a cool idea for a mech suit

Take a page out of Eco’s book and have it be comprised of different locations all around the mech

That way it’s technically a mech but it doesn’t feel as overt

And there’s some cute references on the skin too

[dawn pumice]

I feel like tho it should fit more thematically

Like why would sonic have a mech that compromises all of his past zones except a mech that looks similar to him or tails machinery

[ember junco]

My main thought process is it’d just be way better distinction between them

Like it’d be kinda boring if they both just had similar styles mechs

And with the location mech idea I think it’d be a cool way to celebrate the anniversary

Like take popular locations and represent them without having to go through the whole effort of making a fully fledged Sonic POI on the map

[ember junco]

Adira (@AdiraFNInfo)

It will not be Eddy sorry. Ed, Edd n Eddy collab will only have one skin and it will be Ed. NO Edd and NO Eddy 💀

X · Jan 22, 2026, 11:15 AM

Ok so Sonic ain’t this update

But literally all the collabs this update have been leaked by Adira so credibility is hella high

Next Fortnite update will be February 5th

[pulsar horizon]

He’s probably not til the Feb update

[ember junco]

This is probably just me being hella wishful

Maybe this is a sign for a February Sonic Central and they announce the collab there

And it releases like late February/March

[pulsar horizon]

Also going off this but

[ember junco]

I’m pretty sure the Sidekick is just Rigby

[pulsar horizon]

Nah Regular Show has a different code name

The skins for Regular Show were already speculated to be Skips and Mordecai

Rigby will be the sidekick in that collab

[ember junco]

Adira’s confirmed KPDH Wave 2 so maybe a Derpy Sidekick

[pulsar horizon]

Nah it’s just the emotes and jam tracks we didn’t get in wave 1

The rumors are Demon Hunters collab was rushed so they weren’t added in Wave 1. But some of the Saja boys are rumored to get skins

[ember junco]

It probably won’t happen but it’d be cool if for Wave 2 we got some other HUNTRX styles

Like the Golden fits or smth

[lunar trench]

yeah guys sonic is definitely coming to fortnite

Speak of the demon

[ember junco]

It not being the exact next update doesn’t deconfirm it

If anything this update further lends credence to Adira saying it’s coming

[lunar trench]

oh no that's not it

i just don'tthink will ever come from fortnite lmao

[pulsar horizon]

If he does I still wouldn’t be surprised if he’s just a sidekick

But this is the 3rd time they’ve said he’s coming so my expectations aren’t low

[lunar trench]

idc either way lmao

[ember junco]

I got a bit more faith with this time given just how on point Adira has been

Also it just kinda makes sense to do a proper Sonic collab on an anniversary to me

[toxic vapor]

Lowkey this sounds like me when I hate on the Modern Sonic design

[smoky summit]

Clearly hasn't stopped u lmao

🖤 (@Scarlet__Sonic)

Yawwwwwwwwwwwn. We wanna play as sonic, we don’t care how he looks we wanna play as sonic in Fortnite.

QRT: spO0nybard
I'm sorry but I cannot for the life of me grasp how anyone thinks Sonic being stretched out to human proportions looks good.

vxTwitter / fixvx · Jan 22, 2026, 3:05 PM

[silent haven]

[smoky summit]

The demolition of quality and standard

[untold kayak]

[humble drum]

[raw ether]

[supple lion]

[pulsar horizon]

[ember junco]

If I can be so fr

Stretched Sonic wouldn’t even be that bad

Mfs are just way too picky

[silent haven]

mfs and it's sega 💀

i've literally never played so feel free to call me out if i'm wrong here but i don't think they're stretching sonic out regardless because even with shit like bart in a mech suit or buff peter those are workarounds that either reference official material or keep the characters proportions the same as they actually are

[lavish iron]

What about Mascot Sonic

[silent haven]

like

i guesssss?

but if you wanna nitpick that wouldn’t even be sonic

kinda lose some of the appeal when you’re playing as ‘guy in a sonic suit’

[cunning echo]

He so cool

[ember junco]

I just don’t think it should matter all that much if I’m being real

Like while yeah some Fortnite collabs have explainations to why they look like that (like Optimus Prime for example) there’s even more that just don’t

Like there’s no explanation as to why you can play as a tiny ass King Kong

So I don’t think stretching sonic out a bit and making it look natural should be this huge thing

[wise chasm]

"making it look natural" is the problem here

[ember junco]

It ain’t though

[wise chasm]

not for us, for SEGA

[wide portal]

there are a lot of compromises you have to make but ultimately these collabs are two fold

if Sega doesn’t like it it’s not gonna happen

They don’t like lanky sonic

[wise chasm]

You forget how anal they are about changing things nowadays

when it comes to character design and shit

[ember junco]

Idk for me it’s just like

Why is it only an exception for some things

[wide portal]

So unless they decide “fuck it, we want that Fortnite money”, that’s explicitly not happening

[ember junco]

Like why is cookie run sonic ok

He’s short as hell

That ain’t how sonic normally looks

[wide portal]

That’s not the same thing 😭

[safe hull]

Because that's Sonic as a cookie

That's not Sonic

[wise chasm]

Yeah, kinda like why Rumble Sonic and co. look like the way they do

they're not actually Sonic and co.

[strange estuary]

https://tenor.com/view/sonic-cookie-run-kingdom-happy-gif-25628907

[safe hull]

I'm taking a bite out of him

[strange estuary]

His proportions look pretty fine

The only notable thing is that he just has like a really big head

[wide portal]

Also by cookie run standards you can see here that his proportions are still relatively similar to his regular look

Like when Sonic enters Fortnite, that’s it. they’re not gonna go back and update him

Inevitably they’re gonna have to implement shorter characters, so it’d be in sega’s interest to wait until then so they can have the most accurate look for the guy

[ember junco]

That’s just factually never gonna happen though

At least not in all modes

Like you just cannot have short characters in Br

That is pay to win

[safe hull]

And also the rigging for emotes and everything is shared and just alters itself for wider, average, and lanky characters

We aren't gonna have short characters

That's the whole point of the mechs and the sidekicks

[ember junco]

IIRC the only time short characters have been leaked/rumoured is for the Disney mode they’re working on

[safe hull]

The mechs bring the lil guys up to scale if the licensor isn't cool with an awkward upscale

[ember junco]

And that’s not gonna be a BR that’s like a whole other thing

I’d genuinely gladly take Sonic in a mech if that’s the only feasible way to get him in the game

[wide portal]

Sega probably wouldn’t tho and that’s the thing

[ember junco]

Like Epic can make hella good mech skins that look distinct

[strange estuary]

I do think they might consider him as a sidekick, it seems feasible. But I dunno if that's what others would like

[ember junco]

A Sidekick would be cool

[wide portal]

if they want like actual sonic there no physical changes or anything I think sidekick is a lock

maybe with Eggman as a skin

[ember junco]

But according to Adira it’s likely gonna be skins

[wide portal]

then they can explain it off as the two being forced to work together

to survive the loop or whatever the fuck happens in Fortnite lore

[wide portal]

although the other thing is that sidekicks aren’t just short, they’re short

[safe hull]

Sega would never allow Sonic in a mech suit but they will allow him as a cookie, in the gunner seat of a plane twice in their own games, in a car, in a suit of armor, in PUBG running around cheering for ya while ya shoot other people, etc. but they will never have him chill in a mech suit to be proportionally equal to the rig standards

[ember junco]

Sidekicks have the potential to be more flexible with their height though

[safe hull]

How do we even know "sega won't allow sonic in a mech"

Where the fuck does that come from

If LEGO can put fucking Knuckles in a mech, Fortnite can shove the blue rat in one because it's more of an exoskeleton anyways

[ember junco]

Ok so the only thing I can find specifically about like Sonic proportions ain’t even from a reliable person

It’s from that one Ramona leaker from like a year ago

Who iirc said Miku wouldn’t be in Crossworlds and said the P4 Remake would have a different name to what it has

So yeah 💀

[strange estuary]

Sonic in a mech wouldn't really represent the franchise well is why I can imagine them avoiding putting him in one

[wide portal]

They didn’t definitively say Miku wasn’t in Crossworlds, they just said that they didn’t know for sure

[dawn pumice]

I think the mech can work

Cuz I know for a fact Sega didn’t cave in and are making Sonic lanky

[ember junco]

Nah I like distinctly remember them saying both Miku and Teto wouldn’t be in

They were half right ig

Lemme find it rq

[wide portal]

Yeah it was in response to a different account who had been posting all the SpongeBob stuff and started fucking with people

Miku was not in those files

[safe hull]

Bart Simpson and the South Park boys being in mechs don't represent them well either but aslong as you can actually theme the mechs appropriately you can get away with it

[wide portal]

I mean they’re also mainly sitcom characters so the nature of them regarding action scenarios is more broad

[strange estuary]

That

[cunning echo]

Not them 💀

[dawn pumice]

^^^

[smoky summit]

Is this fraud still yapping recently

[silent haven]

who care

[cunning echo]

nah

[dusty osprey]

They are comedy sitcom characters

[dawn pumice]

?

[dusty osprey]

Whos "proper reprisentation" might not be as particular as sega's in regards to sonic

[dawn pumice]

But what I’m saying is sega is not allowing Sonic to be stretched thin

And going by leaks this time, and if there’s skins, they prob caved in and saw the mechs

[dusty osprey]

Its why im betting on
If this is evem real human dressed in sonic themed clothing kinda like pubg

[dawn pumice]

Also I don’t think lore or story really matters in a game like Fortnite 😭

[dawn pumice]

No one’s ass is gonna buy that 💀

Same reason for sonic man

[dusty osprey]

It doesnt have to matter to fortnite, it matters to them

[dusty osprey]

Sure they will; if theyre hot

[dawn pumice]

💀 💀 💀 💀

[dusty osprey]

They did the same thing in pubg and pso

They made them hot lady costumes

[dawn pumice]

PUBG is an entirely different story 😭

Most if not all of them are humans

[dusty osprey]

Is it? Is it really? To sega

[dawn pumice]

It makes sense to have skins based on human

Fortnite 1/2 is humans while the other is animals / collaborators

I also think they would want sonic to be in there in some sort of way

Not just a costume on a human

[dusty osprey]

I dont think they care about fortnite having animals in it

Sonic is the costume like pubg

It will be dissapointing to many, but i think sega cares more about the brand being seen than that initial dissapointment

Companies calculate this sort of thing

[dawn pumice]

But I’m saying with PUBG that u don’t see Eric cartman or a repo character running around 💀

PUBG is a more realistic shooter while Fortnite is goofy as shit

At this point we would’ve gotten a “female sonic skin” already if they wanted to go the human route

[past matrix]

They'll figure it out

That's all I can say for the most part, if it's happening they'll have to come up with some work around or middle ground on both sides admist SEGA's requirements.

Or it just won't happen because of those requirements.

[dawn pumice]

^

[past matrix]

Or a playable skin is gonna have to narrow down to eggman.

[dusty osprey]

Most people on this side of the planet dont care that much for pubg and i dont think south parks demo's suggest their Audience does either nor do they care to expand visibility in that way.

Sonic is a different case.

Also if you wanna use a realistic example the american dad rodger mech is in cod

Games will ad cartoony bullshit if the publudher allows, or realistic bullshit

[strange estuary]

This is a funny argument

[dawn pumice]

I’m just saying tho

[cunning echo]

he just sayin

[dawn pumice]

There wouldn’t be this much arguing between Sega and epic if it was just a sonic costume

[dusty osprey]

Is it that funny? Its the route sega went with the last two collabs with human characters/ customizable fits they did

[dusty osprey]

Sure it would

[dawn pumice]

???

[dusty osprey]

The kind if sonic costume, colors, design etc. Also they might not have started at costume

[dawn pumice]

Then it would’ve been the same costume as the PUBG one

Or similar

[dusty osprey]

No it wouldnt because fortnitw doesnt design like that and has a different audience

A younger one

[dawn pumice]

Wasn’t the whole debate that

Epic wanted Sonic to be lanky
And Sega wanted him to be the exact size

Why would sega just say now “oh make a costume now :)”

[dusty osprey]

They found a middle ground that they could work with and it was that , is my theory

We shall see tho

[strange estuary]

It doesn't mean it's not valid or plausible, just funny

I think they would aim for something higher regarding Fortnite, though

Pushing my sonic mech agenda

[cunning echo]

they should make the seats lower

that way the head is more visible

thats one of the biggest problems with mechs

[ember junco]

Ed’s been officially confirmed

[coarse ferry]

Ed locked the fuck in

[still epoch]

Why are we talking about this in the sonic place

[smoky summit]

Tall ass legs

I fear for the other 2

Ed boys

[coarse ferry]

They aren’t in

I just posted about it in #1253024560157032448

[ember junco]

I’m posting it here because Adira leaked it

And Adira leaked the Sonic collab

(Also I’ll be real I didn’t even know that other channel existed lol)

[pulsar horizon]

Especially not with collab characters

[strange estuary]

Might be in the future

[ember junco]

The only time the lore really matters for collabs is if it’s like a season focused on it

Like “oh Palpatine’s gonna blow up the island to try and get the Zero Point Shard from the Demon Realm”

Or “Homer has a mini shard and has the power of the omniverse at his fingertips”

[rocky leaf]

every time I see someone being hyped for sonic in fortnite I'll now want them to explain to me how this or the danny phantom skins look good

[ember junco]

Because I want Sonic in the game

It’s literally just as simple as that

I want to play as Sonic in Fortnite

[runic lichen]

waaa waaa waa I don't want sonic in fortnite waaa waaa waaa

[runic lichen]

twin Ls

[grand cobalt]

okay

putting aside that I think Ed actually looks pretty good

I know you are not comparing him to that fucking Danny skin 😭😭

[untold kayak]

Eh I think the main issue of that danny skin was the face

Sam looks alright all things considered

[rugged otter]

still not really fw the mech idea (unless it's Tails) but a stretched sonic is a non-starter for me

there's like maybe some way they could make it work but I don't expect it to look anywhere close to any of the better mock ups

[rocky leaf]

they both look comedically dumbily stretched lol

[grand cobalt]

one looks significantly dumber I think

[dawn pumice]

I honestly think Ed looks dumber

He’s fucking huge but hey I don’t mind really 😭

[coarse ferry]

Danny is by far the worst regardless

[grand cobalt]

Idk Danny pisses me off so much

[dawn pumice]

Danny looks meh

[grand cobalt]

Ed looks pretty normal, I wouldn’t really think twice if I used him

[dawn pumice]

I think the height difference is more apparent on Ed than Danny imo

[ember junco]

Danny Phantom looks ass because they were focused on the better skin for Winterfest

[dawn pumice]

We actually got

An interesting sonic leak

[stiff salmon]

where

[past matrix]

Don't play with me

[dawn pumice]

And the story

Legit sounds very plausible

[wide portal]

Hmm

I don’t know if this is real but I appreciate the effort

Lemme observe this closely

[dawn pumice]

I do too

Cuz like thank god it has some effort

[still epoch]

Thats fun

Not real but fun

[smoky summit]

Simple answer: I want Sonic in Fortnite for the exposure

[torn trench]

Ed is supposed to be the tallest one so this doesn't really bother me

No fuckass proto-title name??

[smoky summit]

Fake screenshots lol

[untold kayak]

[wide portal]

genuine 10/10 fake leak

[untold kayak]

10/10 just for the effort alone

[past matrix]

Yeah I'll give it that, it's better than the past few months.

[smoky summit]

I'll read it for the sake of it but like

[grand cobalt]

now that’s what im talking about

more please

[smoky summit]

When they try to hard on fake images it's a dead giveaway

Like Nidio's rock motobug lmao

[past matrix]

Is that sonic heroes eggman armada ship png in the back I see.

[smoky summit]

Ugh

[still epoch]

Ok that shadow is the heroes model Lmfao

[smoky summit]

This is a pain to read

First paragraph is like they ain't even trying

[untold kayak]

It looks like a mix of the egg carrier with the sonic colors type of eggman ship

[stiff salmon]

that effort wtf

😭😭

[untold kayak]

or motobug

[ember junco]

Yeah I was about to say ain’t that like the Shadow 05 model LMAO

[smoky summit]

Can someone check the replies maybe someone went "this is bs here's the real leak" and then actually says a real leak

[dawn pumice]

Mb forgot to post that one

[smoky summit]

Cause that's literally what happened for the first Rangers leak

[past matrix]

Oh hell Nah LMAOOO

[smoky summit]

The blatant muzzle curving is just too much fam

Sonic Team ain't gonna 0 to 100 like that

[stiff salmon]

ppl would eat this up though LMAOOO

thank god this leak is fake

good effort though

[wide portal]

this is

isn’t this a fan model

[smoky summit]

Yes

[past matrix]

How you gonna have sonic look damn near the same in build and then have shadow have slim Jim noodle arms, adjusted quills, and brows and shit.

[wide portal]

I’m like 50% sure I’ve seen that shadow somewhere else before

[smoky summit]

It feels like it's from Dex the modern SA2 maker

Not our Dex

But idk for sure

[ember junco]

I fw a lot of the ideas with this leak I can’t lie

[past matrix]

Not to mention the same knuckles we've had BEHIND HIM

[dawn pumice]

I’m like 80% sure it’s fake

[smoky summit]

Ok ok I'll continue reading

[dawn pumice]

But there’s something with it that’s rubbing me the wrong way

[wide portal]

I think it’s definitely the less “and then THIS happened and then THIS happened and then THAT happened!” in terms of description

[smoky summit]

Fiery I'm sorry it's just fake they are claiming "streamers" shared these screenshots around and that they are real

[lavish iron]

What fan game is this

[smoky summit]

Lmao

[dawn pumice]

O did they?

Only skimmed it

[smoky summit]

In the first paragraph yes

[grand cobalt]

it doesn’t matter that it’s fake

[wide portal]

it’s the most direct, and it’d probably at least be a debate in my mind if it weren’t for the screenshots and then that comment about said screenshots

[ember junco]

Nah Fadel has the whole demo trust

[grand cobalt]

it’s the fact it’s different and has some effort

which is all I want

[wide portal]

Leakfake stocks are going up

[smoky summit]

Samuel Protractor Stationary is working on a trailer as we speak

[cunning echo]

none

is frontiers 2 oomf

[stiff salmon]

LMFAOOOOOOOOOO

[ember junco]

Sonic Eclipse get it right smh my head

[smoky summit]

Holy fuck they are like it's the Dream Team cast and they skip Cream lmao

😭

Man

I'm so tired of vapid uninhabited worlds

I know it saves dev time but like come on sega

Frontiers and Gens back to back this one better have civilizations

[ember junco]

Minimum I at least want a town

[dawn pumice]

Ngl it sounds like the best possible leak so far

Beats whatever fuckass was eclipse

[torn trench]

You'll get maybe 3 townsfolk and a building

[cunning echo]

I forgor

[stiff salmon]

um

that looks like ares in frontiere revisited

1st one is the ouranos island mod

[past matrix]

3 screencaps to many

[dawn pumice]

Just gonna say thank u for putting some effort into a leak

[cunning echo]

😭

[dawn pumice]

U actually almost convinced my ass

[cunning echo]

I only went safe with it

and added stuff I would like to see gameplay wise

[past matrix]

If it were real, I'd be really sad.

[cunning echo]

damn why

[past matrix]

Not because it would be bad, but because my hopes are in a place where I would want something..a lil more above this.

[ember junco]

The idea of like the island being alive and having like a morality system with saving people is actually raw

[pulsar horizon]

What’s going on rn

is mostly cuz im expecting a better frontiers tbh

[still epoch]

This looks like it could be a better frontiers i suppose

[past matrix]

It's DEFINITELY the most realistic of expectations with an follow up to frontiers.

[cunning echo]

I know lot of people expecting the next gen sonic but the way I feel it is that is just like what odyssey is

[stiff salmon]

what if they do end up going balls to the wall woth eclipse

[cunning echo]

just a more polished 64

[grand cobalt]

was fiery in on this by sharing it or were you just waiting here for someone to eventually say something

[ember junco]

Fuck it

[still epoch]

I imagine frontiers 2 looking like this

[cunning echo]

nah

[ember junco]

Sonic gets portal powers

Lock in

[still epoch]

It will be in switch 1 after all

[cunning echo]

I was waiting 😭

I had fun doing it tbh

[past matrix]

But, paired with the visuals/images, I didn't get an feeling of hope as much as it was "Oh. That's just Frontiers. With different characters in environments with the same art direction."

[ember junco]

Sonic goes through the fabric of reality next game lock in

[grand cobalt]

well now hope is lost again

first good fake leak in ages and it’s from a tc regular

smh

[still epoch]

Lmfao we are the good ones

[cunning echo]

I was bored as hell

but I just did it to see what would people react and also because i was tired of the eclipse thing 😭

most leaks are just no boost

momentum and models

[dawn pumice]

Eclipse sucks anyways

All my homies hate eclipse

[lavish iron]

What about Sonic Onryo

[cunning echo]

the wha

what is that

[dawn pumice]

Tf is that 💀

[wide portal]

I did have a gut feeling tbh that sonictwt seeing this would be really bad

[lavish iron]

Japanese for ghost

[ember junco]

Ain’t that the cookie

[cunning echo]

is that like a fake leak or?

[lavish iron]

No

[cunning echo]

Im confused

[lavish iron]

It’s a cool name

[cunning echo]

ah

[wide portal]

Maybe if we combined our powers we could make the ultimate fake leak

fake gameplay screenshots, fake concept art, fake dialogue, fake fakes

[cunning echo]

shitting leak part 2

[grand cobalt]

you might be cooking with the fake fakes part

[zinc spear]

Not blurry enough, 0/10
(edit: I did not see that 4chan post earlier 😭 )

[lunar trench]

Finally a good leak man it's been a while

[rugged otter]

wait davih is behind this..

well thanks for giving something interesting, fake leaks out there have been dire lately

we're out here drowning in "uncle from sega spat out a document from his mouth and it said Unleashed 30 times"

[zinc spear]

Genuinely though I do miss when people put actual effort into leaks

[forest fractal]

Damn wtf dude

[dusty osprey]

Miku got wronged
They got way better at making anime girl skins after her.

[raw ether]

Here’s a rumor that we can all get behind:

a yet to be announced LEGO set!

The LEGO set shown in the image was already released, for the record.

[wheat kindle]

That 4chan leak looks like a cool mod

it may seem credible at first because you'd think they would follow up on the same vibe of Frontiers and Shadow Gens, that's why it makes sense at first

[humble drum]

only 1?
damn these are being dripfead compared to mario

which tbh is kinda nice cause there are way too many boring mario sets

[ember junco]

I hope it’s a good set

And not like Blaze’s Blazing Golf Cart or smth

[humble drum]

hold up that sounds peak

[dawn pumice]

They prob don’t see profitability in sonic anymore

I mean, compare commercials, Sonic’s ass spent way more of a budget on them then let’s say Mario

[cunning echo]

honestly, most sonic lego sets are pretty bad

[humble drum]

the leaked set better be a slightly wider red speed sphere for knuckles

[safe hull]

Can't believe you're being booed for not wanting Sonic's iconic truck lair, tails' yacht, amy's island, or knuckles and his trademark mech suit

Like yea there are cool sets but they're outweighed in quantity by the generic Lego shelfwarmers

[cunning echo]

maybe bad is overreacting

but they're pretty basic yea

is like the average lego set but they put sonic characters instead

the biolizard is prolly the best one

[raw osprey]

wasnt commercials was make with sega recources

[lunar trench]

Louder

[dawn pumice]

Na so true

[lunar trench]

Tell'em

[prime hearth]

I like the lego sonic sets, even if they're not always super series-accurate they're still pretty good as toys for children which is ideally what toys for children should be

like yeah, tails' boat is not winning the game accurate awards any time soon but "boat that launches spheres out like a bullet" would've def satisfied me as a kid no end

only one I can't defend is the shadow bust, which just frankly does Not look that good when its main job as a display piece is to look good lol

[humble drum]

it is at least referencing the sea fox

[prime hearth]

I mean, the reference stuff is a secondary thing to being a fun toy at the end of the day

[humble drum]

anyways red speed sphere when

[modest parcel]

Wow

At least theyre still releasing new sets ig?

[modest parcel]

Tbf there are way too many boring Sonic sets as well

[prime hearth]

I think the worst of the mario sets are still worse cos they point blank do not make good toys without the £50 starter course figure

later waves figured it out a bit better by adding enough characters/etc in there to make each set standalone enough to be fine, but early on you've got stuff like this where its just

completely barren without the figure lol

[safe hull]

Why did they decapitate the Chain Chomp

[humble drum]

they are just a big head what do you mean

[safe hull]

Nothing, nvm, go about your day

[humble drum]

[prime hearth]

saving the rest of em for the $600 exclusive set

meanwhile, a £22/$20 set

[humble drum]

a hedgehog has fallen into the river

[prime hearth]

the sonic sets and these are like night and day lmao

[humble drum]

HEY

[prime hearth]

(the only thing the mario sets are def beating sonic on are the exclusive 18+ ones which are just, really really good ngl)

[humble drum]

sad we're probably never getting a full genesis set

they just included a controller as a free gift with purchase...

[prime hearth]

god I'd kill for a full MD set

that or a dreamcast

[rugged otter]

the combined nintendo and lego greed fusion goes crazy

Dreamcast anything would be my dream

• a cute lego VMU

[humble drum]

back to the fornite leaks I know shadow would unfortunately have to happen but

I feel like knuckles is a shoe in cause epic seems to like him

he got his fall guys skin after sonic before the big event adding everyone else

only character besides sonic (and super sonic but shh) to get a car decal

and got a secret title in rocket league

[ember junco]

I feel like there’s 4 ways I could see them doing Sonic skins

Either they just do Sonic and Shadow

[humble drum]

the bad ending

[ember junco]

Just Team Sonic

[humble drum]

the acceptable ending

[ember junco]

Team Sonic plus 1 (either Shadow or Eggman)

Or they just go crazy and do a 5 skin bundle with all of them

[humble drum]

the good ending

[ember junco]

Amy also has a good shot but I feel like they’d save her for a Wave 2

[humble drum]

amy instead of shadow

[ember junco]

I’d say Amy is a lock if Shadow didn’t have the popularity buff

Also it just kinda works better if I’m being real

Like assuming the collab is true

And that it comes out this year

That just means they can save Amy for next year and make a wave 2 that’s a tie in with Movie 4 with her and Metal

[sick bobcat]

ideal pick for fornite skins: Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, Amy, Shadow, Rouge, and Eggman

[coarse ferry]

And the out of nowhere pick

https://tenor.com/view/sonic-adventure-big-the-cat-big-turn-around-lightning-gif-27367995

[strange estuary]

I think Big would be too big

[dense snow]

I mean, they got the giant chicken to work.
Surely they’d get big to work

[strange estuary]

Hmm

I'm not so sure still, but I can see that

[ember junco]

I don’t think Big playable would be a thing

But maybe they could do like an E Honda thing for the street fighter collab and make like a Big balloon glider kinda thing

[autumn yacht]

we need a big the cat mascot suit

Another good ass fake leak

Wait that’s a whole new remix of live and learn 😭

[wide portal]

that’s not how sidekick voice lines work does it

[wide portal]

Fake leakers be putting in the EFFORT

[untold kayak]

again

10/10 for effort

I appreciate a very well done false leak

[dawn pumice]

Na it works like that

They say one word and be silent

SpongeBob does that too

But he’s the only one that actually talks

[untold kayak]

I'm just happy we're getting leaks with effort

[dense snow]

doesn't towelie talk also?

[strange estuary]

It has effort, but I don't know if that equates to good

[dawn pumice]

I like the remix of live and learn

[dawn pumice]

Oh I haven’t heard him

[dense snow]

part of the whole south park collab that's going on atm

[wide portal]

inb4 one of the fortnite leakers sees this clip and reposts it like “SONIC SIDEKICK LEAKED”

[dawn pumice]

But does MSROPI even post videos on stuff he can’t fully confirm?

I know he’s gotten one thing or two wrong, but when it comes to videos he’s usually right?

[untold kayak]

got erased

[strange estuary]

Rest In Piece

[wide portal]

his entire deal is piggybacking so this video most likely came from somewhere else

[wise chasm]

^

[wide portal]

Also he doesn’t typically delete shit from what I know? so that calls this into question

[untold kayak]

Dunno tbh

[wise chasm]

Bro never had their own leak, so it doesn't matter either way

They either piggyback or just post fake shit and then delete when it's confirmed fake

[untold kayak]

[smoky summit]

He is not that short

[strange estuary]

We love compressing fan-made videos and pretending it's a leak

He's been depicted as that short before

[raw ether]

Person is still claiming this is true despite no official film site like Creative BC having any information about it, unless it’s just not meant to be publicly available yet.

and in case anyone is wondering, no info from ProductionWeekly… yet.

-# cough ProductionWeekly can go f themselves cough

[past matrix]

Yeah I don't think they're gonna be there long/shoot there primarily, because I'm seeing a fair amount of familiar pinewood studios people attached to this film atm.

Yes my source is IMDB, but being an person that is aware the editing abilities of random users; Most times than most, no sonic fan gives a damn to make up/know a draughtsperson to attach to the crew list.

[still epoch]

@grand cobalt ehe whats the eclipse thing

[grand cobalt]

I’m willing to bet this is just another sonic rift scenario though

multiple people hopping on the same idea to make fake leaks because why not

[untold kayak]

Mhm

[still epoch]

Wow

[smoky summit]

Lame

[still epoch]

Yea these are lame

[rugged otter]

guys i heard they might just add Blue Star from Riders in too but shhhhhhhhh

[dawn pumice]

Fuck sonic eclipse

Everyone hates that shit

[grand cobalt]

it’s always the leaks that everyone hates that become real…..

no it’s not I’m lying, but it’d be funny if it were true

but hey the fourth one says state of play so we’ll know if it’s bullshitting (if we don’t already) supposedly in the coming weeks

[sick bobcat]

what if I dont hate it?

[still epoch]

I dont hate it i feel nothing about it lmao

[sick bobcat]

most of em say a Sonic and Shadow game, the others say you'll play as the main 4 + Shadow and Silver.

you'd think with Amy getting focus next year, she would've been the second main playable character

[cunning echo]

if anything

Im surprised the same person keeps pushing eclipse if it ends up being fake lmfao

like back when frontiers was in the leak era you had multiple fake leaks with their own view on how would it be or play

um.

[ember junco]

Lock in Eclipse heads

Reveal will be there

[stiff salmon]

@ember junco they have to reveal 3 right?

no way they leave out arle

[ember junco]

The free characters?

[stiff salmon]

yes

its always 3

[past matrix]

I'm honestly not putting much stock in a sonic project getting revealed there again.

[ember junco]

Next update should have 4 according to the roadmap, unless that last one is Patch 4

[ember junco]

The only reason I can kinda believe it is Sega defo has a thing with Playstation

[stiff salmon]

surprised sony turned em down

[ember junco]

Like with Shadow Gens and Crossworlds

[stiff salmon]

for astrobot

[ember junco]

Was Sonic ever pitched for it?

[still epoch]

no fucking way

the next sonic game will be revealed at the lameass SoP

sop more like

SloP

[stiff salmon]

no

[ember junco]

Shadow Gens was

[pulsar horizon]

I doubt it would be

[ember junco]

And the first actual look at Crossworlds gameplay was at a SoP

[modest parcel]

No

Summer reveal

[stiff salmon]

All will be revealed soon!

[pulsar horizon]

Shadow Gens was a remaster/remake

[modest parcel]

SoP will get NO Sonic games!!

[still epoch]

thats not a huuuge game though

[modest parcel]

(disclaimer: idk about crossworlds DLC)

[ember junco]

Shadow Gens was like the huge game of 2024 what are you on?

[modest parcel]

Wow rude

[still epoch]

it was but its not frontiers 2 open zone game

[ember junco]

I ain’t saying Frontiers 2 I was just saying eclipse as a joke

I could defo see this years game being there tho

[modest parcel]

On all our soles Frontiers 2 won't be revealed in a SoP!

[stiff salmon]

[ember junco]

Whether it’s like a port or collection smth

[prime hearth]

given that crossworlds is crossplay I reckon that’s a big part of it tbh

[cunning echo]

but why no at state of play?

[modest parcel]

It's the wrong time Davih

[cunning echo]

how

😭

[modest parcel]

Too early

[prime hearth]

same reason why they ain’t putting Mario in crossworlds lol

[still epoch]

its not too early its just not the event for it

[cunning echo]

I mean

[ember junco]

They revealed Shadow Gens in January

[cunning echo]

people are gonna watch it

[modest parcel]

The reason why Frontiers 2 won't be in a SoP specifically

[cunning echo]

is not big event like game awards

[modest parcel]

Is because it'd be too big for it

[cunning echo]

but for a reveal I'd say is fine

considering months later sgf will be in the same month of the anniversary

[modest parcel]

SGF has a real possible chance imo

[zinc spear]

meh

[cunning echo]

idk

but could be

[still epoch]

im gonna count on a 35th anniversary party

[ember junco]

I still feel like TGA will be Frontiers 2

[modest parcel]

35th anniversary party would get a second look imo

Like that's what they used to do

[zinc spear]

I expect a buncha same-y games, Marvels wolverine included, and uhhh...I dunno. My expectations are below the floor for state of plays

[still epoch]

mania and forces tho

[modest parcel]

But now that Sonic is big enough to show up in these events

They have no reason to debut the games at the parties specifically

[zinc spear]

actually mind you

[modest parcel]

Since it's less eyes on the trailer

[ember junco]

Bare minimum I feel like Crossworlds news is a lock

Given that last SoP with NiGHTS, AIAI and Tangle and Whisper

I just remembered, there's nintendo direct february rumors

That plus the state of play also being in february would be decent timing to double dip

[still epoch]

i think a reveal wouldnt be at a nintendo direct either imo

both sop and direct wouldnt be the places for the reveal

[ember junco]

I’ll give a Nintendo Direct one thing it’s more likely than an Xbox Showcase reveal 💀

[zinc spear]

I was gonna say that crossworlds and shadow gens were both revealed at state of plays, though they aren't as big a deal as Frontiers 2

[stiff salmon]

that too

but they need to show off NYC for tmnt btw

[ember junco]

I could defo see them doing like a trailer mid lead up to the games release at a Direct like in 2027

Since they did have that trailer for Frontiers with Cyberspace at a Direct

[past matrix]

It makes more sense to me to give an initial teaser of the next mainline game during a sonic central, which I feel is inevitable in the line of anniversary content coming.

If it were to happen at a state of play, that'd be neat I suppose? But I'm not solid about the possibility.

[ember junco]

Bare minimum

[still epoch]

here is the thing

[ember junco]

February 12th we’re seeing Arle 😁

[still epoch]

it could be shadowdropped or whatever i just want it lmao

i dont really care where it comes from

i am speaking in just, i dont think it will be there

is like kh4

like

give it to me now already god

but also i dont expect it in any sop or geoff event or any event aside its own

[stiff salmon]

also that leaker said that's not the only event for sonic anyway

[ember junco]

A Central teaser just kinda feels like too small imo

[stiff salmon]

likely eclipse is being shown off at sonic central or 35th anniversary party

[ember junco]

Like next big mainline game feels like smth for a Geoff event to get more eyes on it

[dawn pumice]

Want to bet @modest parcel

[modest parcel]

Not now I’m at the store

[dawn pumice]

Also what leaker?

[stiff salmon]

OOPS

hold on

[stiff salmon]

@dawn pumice third image!

[dawn pumice]

Ah

Eclipse….

Ew

I’m still on the boat that sonic ain’t gonna be at SoP

At MOST

MOSSSST

ur getting some more crossworlds dlc

[strange estuary]

They're announcing Sonic Superstars 2 here

[dawn pumice]

And honestly i agree with this

Crossworlds was a spinoff that first got announced at TGA

And shadow gens is a remaster + dlc really

I feel like if they’re gonna do anniversary stuff, it’ll be on their own terms / events

[prime hearth]

yeah I think they're gonna shoot bigger than a SoP for the next big game

[wide portal]

see my thing is i have a hunch we might not be getting a “big” game per say

I got a feelin

[dawn pumice]

I honestly still think they’re gonna pull a 25th in a way

They’ll tease it on their own terms and fully reveal it at a party of their own in June

[prime hearth]

I reckon they're either gonna put it at the TGAs or do their own stream - not a full central, just the trailer on its own and maybe iizuka saying a few words beforehand

[dawn pumice]

Ehhh I only see TGA if they like

Legit have nothing to show from now til July

If we’re in that timeframe when by July we still know Jack

Then ya I’d reckon TGA

Because honestly I sorta expected Sonic to be at the newest TGA

Kinda surprised he didn’t show

Would’ve been the smartest decision to start off the anniversary

[prime hearth]

can see it being a highguard situation - sega wanting to do a standalone reveal but geoff sucking them off so hard they get coerced into putting the reveal there

[dawn pumice]

Na I honestly think sega dropped out last TGA

Cuz it really felt like they had way more to show

Also I mentioned before

There’s like a hella a lot of announcements for events we still don’t know about or the dates

[stiff salmon]

i think they dropped out

[scarlet ether]

@DraKey863659 Yes it will be the characters, it will not be Fortnite skins dressed

[pulsar horizon]

One Piece will forever be stuck in the files

[ember junco]

They’re waiting until it’s finished obviously 😀

[dusty osprey]

...

If this is real

And shadow is a character

I will play fortnite

I will download it and buy the skins

[scarlet ether]

the leaker is pretty accurate shockingly enough

they got shit like The Office, Ed and 28 Days Later being cosmetics only pretty spot on

[dusty osprey]

Ill concede being wrong if i get shadow fortnite ( or knuckles fortnite tbh)

[scarlet ether]

people are straight up assuming that their source is most likely within Fortnite's marketing department cuz a lot of the shit that got leaked suspiciously lined up with what was already being marketed

(i.e. when Ed Edd n Eddy was being leaked, they assumed that all 3 Eds would be in, only for them to find out that it was only Ed before he dropped days later)

[ember junco]

I’m praying the source is from the marketing department

Because I’m guessing that means it’s soon

And not in like June

[dawn pumice]

He probably has marketing notes from most of the seasons

[scarlet ether]

*They

they use they/them

[dawn pumice]

Na they said sonic is somewhat they’re confident on but not to the extent of everything else

Sonic is still up in the air

[scarlet ether]

just because it's now off to the Fortnite marketing team does not mean that its soon soon

stuff can just take time

[dawn pumice]

^^^

It’s not like how they were with regular show or Ed Edd n Eddy

[scarlet ether]

shit like Ed and Regular Show was most likely ready to be publically shown

cuz a lot of the needed marketing bits was done

but shit like Sonic still needs time

[coarse ferry]

Yeah that’s always the main thing over Fortnite

[ember junco]

I just want it to be soon man

[scarlet ether]

cuz they would need to get approval, set up a timeline, etc.

[dawn pumice]

Like I said they’ve prob got documentation on it

[coarse ferry]

But I think so far only Sonic and yakuza are confirmed but not ready yet SEGA wise

[dawn pumice]

But no designs

[scarlet ether]

only Sonic

Yakuza is unconfirmed

[ember junco]

I hate waiting for rumoured collabs because like what if it’s like Doctor Who 😭😭😭

[dawn pumice]

I think they got a timeline / release

[coarse ferry]

Aight thanks

[dawn pumice]

But I don’t think they were shown the models yet

[scarlet ether]

if that was the case, they would've mentioned as such

but no

[coarse ferry]

Which is fair considering the sonic chars proportions

[scarlet ether]

it was just Sonic

[coarse ferry]

They are aware of the loud demand, but it’ll take a long while

[dawn pumice]

And we just got confirmation it’s the actual characters too

So it’s looking very likely they’re mechs

Cuz no way Sega caved in on making them lanky

[ember junco]

Nah I mean like how there was that Doctor Who collab “leak” there was no news for like a year and then leakers were just like “yeah that shit was faked”

[dawn pumice]

Adria has a pretty spotless track record so far

They don’t go fully in unless they have enough sources

[ember junco]

True I’m just scared it’s another fakeout 😭

[scarlet ether]

that or the thing is nearly ready to be publically revealed

you're gonna have to wait a good while for Sonic stuff

[safe hull]

Don't give Epic money btw

[ember junco]

I don’t gotta
