In a surprise announcement at its Sonic Heroes launch event, Sega revealed that Sonic Team's next game would not be a Sonic title, but instead would be based on the anime classic "Astro Boy."Currently in development for the PlayStation 2 and Game Boy Advance, the game is based on the brand-new animated series currently running on the Kids' WB.
"We plan to take full advantage of the powerful marketing rollout behind this license, led by the Astro Boy animated series," said Scott A. Steinberg, vice president of entertainment marketing, Sega of America, Inc. "Bringing the Astro Boy franchise to the PS2 and GBA, in partnership with Sony Pictures Consumer Products and Texuka Productions, underscores our ongoing commitment to publish exciting, revenue generating licensed content for the U.S. market."
