SONIC RUNNERS

IOS/ANDROID, 2015

This mobile endless runner is unlike the Sonic Dash games in that it utilises the traditional 2D viewpoint of the Mega Drive games. You could play as a wide variety of characters from across the series and take part in both a regular story and themed contests, such as a Halloween event. Despite being downloaded over 5 million times, Sonic Runners didn’t meet Sega’s financial goals and its servers were shut down in July 2016, just 13 months after the game’s official launch.
