Sonic Team boss: We don’t have plans for Sonic Adventure 3 or separate Chao Garden game

The head of the Sonic Team, Takashi Iizuka, has participated in a new interview and stated that the much requested Sonic Adventure 3 is not being worked on. Iizuka wouldn’t elaborate on the reasons why they haven’t pursued development on the eagerly awaited game. He just said that the team doesn’t have plans for it yet and reiterated that he would eventually love to make the third game in the Adventure series, which started life on the SEGA Dreamcast. He also said that the company also has no plans to make a standalone Chao Garden game, as he feels that it is part of the Sonic Adventure experience.

“When we talk about Chao Garden specifically, I know everyone’s like ‘I want Chao Garden, I want Chao Garden’,” Iizuka replied (via an interpreter). “But Chao Garden is a piece… it’s part of the whole Sonic Adventure series of games.”

“It’s not a standalone game, it’s integrated into the whole Adventure series gameplay, so we can’t just break it off and make it a thing. And so it’s like, alright, well, if you’re asking for Chao Garden and Adventure 3, then that’s pretty much asking for Adventure 3.

“I think at some time I’d like to say ‘hey, yeah, we’re making Adventure 3’, but we don’t have plans for that yet. It’s just one of those things that if, if the stars align and it can all happen, then yeah, we’d love to make it.”
