Did Sonic Boom not destroy your faith in the hedgehog? Maybe the sequel will

Sega is making a sequel to Sonic Boom. I feel like this is the moment that led to the downfall of humanity and the rise of the Planet of the Apes.

Sonic Boom: Rise of Lyric for Wii U and Sonic Boom: Shattered Crystal are two of the worst reviewed (and selling) games from 2014, but that’s not stopping Sega from promising (threatening?) to release a follow-up, Sonic Boom: Fire & Ice, for the 3DS later this year. Developer Sanzaru Games is back to make this game after working on Shattered Crytsal, and Sega claims that this new release will deliver “more adventure, speed, exploration, and all-new fire and ice gameplay.” I’ll point out that the publisher did not say that it’ll have better adventure or speed, so this is probably not violating any Federal Communication Commission standards.
