Sonic Heroes Could Be Getting A Remake For Nintendo Switch Successor - Report

A remake of Sonic Heroes is reportedly being considered at Sega. The game was first released in 2003 for PC, PlayStation 2, Nintendo GameCube, and original Xbox.

According to Universo Nintendo, the Sonic Heroes remake would be built with Unreal Engine, and be put on all modern platforms, including PC, PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch's successor. Sega would reportedly also aim for a 2025 release window.

Prominent Atlus and Sega leaker named Midori originally corroborated Universo Nintendo's report. However, they later clarified that Sega was only considering the possibility of a remake. They also added that they were unsure about the possibility of this remake being released within the next three years.

Throughout Sonic the Hedgehog's long history, Sonic Heroes is one of the very few games in the series that has not been remastered or brought to any other modern platforms--it's not even available on Steam.

In GameSpot's Sonic Heroes review, we said, "Sonic Heroes is the closest that Sonic Team has gotten to doing a 3D Sonic the Hedgehog game in the classic 2D fashion. What's most disappointing is that the problems in Sonic Heroes--which include the camera, the controls, and the clipping--are the kinds of things that could be remedied with a few extra months of fine-tuning."
