SEGA HARDlight has revealed the next challenger joining the roster of Sonic Forces: Speed Battle and Sonic Dash: Neo Metal Sonic. The teaser dropped earlier late last week and has fans buzzing with excitement, marking the latest in a long line of character updates aimed at expanding the mobile games’ lineups.
Originally introduced in Sonic Heroes, Neo Metal Sonic is known for his calculating mind, shape-shifting abilities, and obsession with surpassing Sonic. While he’s appeared recently in Sonic x Shadow Generations and the IDW comics, his presence in the mobile games has been long overdue — until now.
The brief teaser clip, shared via the official Sonic the Hedgehog Twitter account, shows off the character’s ominous silhouette bathed in a storm of digital static.
There’s no confirmed release date yet, but based on past reveals, players can likely expect a limited-time event to unlock the character, complete with missions and themed rewards.
Neo Metal Sonic’s arrival continues HARDlight’s recent trend of spotlighting iconic characters from across Sonic media, especially fan favorites who haven’t seen much mobile action. Whether you’re a longtime fan of the character or just looking to boost your roster, this is one character to keep your eye on.
Stay locked on Sonic City for updates as soon as the event details go live.
