The stakes have never been higher, and the only chance to overcome Lyric is to band together and work as a team. The goal is to prevent Lyric from powering his army of robots and carrying out his plan to destroy the world.

With a strong emphasis on collaboration, the roles of Tails, Knuckles, Amy, and Sticks, will be elevated in gameplay that capitalizes on each character?s unique talents and abilities. An extremely tech-savvy mastermind who uses a sophisticated robotic body of armor to carry out his own nefarious deeds, he is a formidable enemy and a force to be reckoned with. Lyric is a giant and monstrous snake-like creature from an ancient race. In both games, Sonic and friends - Tails, Knuckles, Amy, and the newest member of the team, Sticks, will work together as they face their most powerful enemy yet.

SAN FRANCISCO (June 2, 2014) ? SEGA® of America, Inc. Highly Anticipated Videogames for Wii U and Nintendo 3DS to Make Hands-On Debut and Expand Reach for Sonic Boom Franchise Still, check back for more details as they come down the pipe.SEGA REVEALS MORE DETAILS ABOUT SONIC BOOM GAMES AT E3 2014 While we have yet to get a hard confirmation, this would seem plausible given the absolutely terrible quality of the game - at least the Wii U version the 3DS iteration actually isn’t half bad. If these folks did leave in July, that would put their departure at the end of the development timeline of Boom. It’s being said that much of the team was unhappy with the direction of the game. Some of those who left the studio this last summer included senior designers, artists, a project manager, production assists and more. Apparently the original producer also left the company in September of last year. It’s come out today that a mass exodus hit the team in July, mere months before the game launched. Nevertheless, Sonic Boom: Rise of Lyric developer, Big Red Button, apparently had a rocky road while making the game. Hopefully their exclusive deal with Nintendo ending will produce a more motivated Sega, and thus land us ultimately with one of the aforementioned games. If only we could get a sequel to Generations or Colors… But alas, it’s not meant to be right now. Sadly, it seems that Sega just has no idea what to do with him. It’s a total bummer, too, as we like the Blue Blur. So…Sonic Boom? Yeah… Not so good, right? We didn’t think so.
