As with the last few years, SEGA is holding a Sonic panel at South by Southwest in Austin, Texas in less than 48 hours. This is the place where SEGA makes their annual Sonic announcements, including games, merchandise and future plans for the year, among other things.
Just a short summation of the past few years:
2017:
-Project Sonic 2017's true name was revealed to be Sonic Forces, first gameplay and screenshots were shown.
-Flying Battery was announced for Sonic Mania, as well as a delay from Spring to Summer.
2018:
-Sonic Mania Plus was announced for Summer of that year.
-A new Sonic Racing game was announced, later revealed to be Team Sonic Racing.
-Sonic Mania Adventures was announced.
With those things being known, what do you guys hope, expect, and/or want this time around?
As for me, what I want more than anything is absolutely Sonic Mania 2. Taxman and other Sonic Mania devs are now working at Evening Star studios full time. They have no games currently announced yet. I need it.
Games wise:
What I think is likely is Sonic Team's new game being ready for this year, in time with the movie. I don't think it'll be related to the movie at all, though. There will obviously be lots of Team Sonic Racing news as well. I think it's possible we also get more news on Sega Ages: Sonic 2, which apparently might be adding some sort of new content.
Non-game:
I think we'll get the first Sonic movie trailer either this Saturday at the panel or next Saturday, at the Kids Choice Awards. There's also apparently a new Sonic coming, this would be the place to announce that, I figure.
