Netflix has released the first footage of its upcoming Sonic Prime TV show, which is viewable below.

It’s billed as “a high-octane adventure where the fate of a strange new multiverse” rests in Sonic’s hands, as well as “a journey of self-discovery and redemption”.
Canadian production company WildBrain is animating the series at its Vancouver studio, with Sonic Prime’s showrunners and executive producers coming from Man of Action Entertainment (Ben 10, Big Hero 6).
Publisher Sega confirmed last week that digital versions of the standalone games included in Sonic Origins will be removed from sale ahead of the collection’s release.
It plans to delist Sonic the Hedgehog, Sonic the Hedgehog 2, Sonic the Hedgehog 3, Sonic & Knuckles, and Sonic CD on May 20.
