In the same vein of
Sonic Mania Adventures, Sega has released the first episode in a new mini series; this time promoting
Team Sonic Racing, which comes out on the
21st of May for home consoles and Steam.
Team Sonic Racing Overdrive is Sega's newest animated mini series, which will be two episodes long and has the Blue Hedgehog and his Team Sonic racing against Shadow the Hedgehog's Team Dark, while Dr. Eggmann seems to be plotting something behind their backs.
This new animated series is produced by Yukio Kusumoto, who was involved in
Sonic Mania Adventures and also produced the Star Ocean EX series — which is based on the Star Ocean video game series by Square Enix.
In regards to the animation itself,
Team Sonic Racing Overdrive is directed by Tyson Hesse — who animated the opening video in
Sonic Mania and was also involved on
Sonic Mania Adventures as the director — and done in association with Neko Productions.
Take a look:
Team Sonic Racing arrives this Winter! Race in a team with your friends (or against them) both offline and online, and choose from a variety of characters and tracks in the Sonic universe!
Team Sonic Racing will be available for the PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch, Xbox One, and Steam on the 21st of May in 2019.
