Sonic Adventure fans might not be happy to hear this, but there aren\u2019t any plans to come out with a remake or remaster anytime soon.<\/p>\n

Takahashi Iizuka, head of Team Sonic, was recently asked about revisiting the game in an interview. The takeaway here is that Iizuka believes it\u2019d take a huge effort to bring the experience up to today\u2019s \u201cstandards and expectations\u201d \u2013 as much as a new title would apparently. Because of that, he feels working on a new game instead makes more sense.<\/p>\n

Iizuka said the following when asked about a possible Sonic Adventure remake \/ remaster in an interview with Shacknews:<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cI do hear that a lot. I really am appreciative for everyone who likes the Sonic Adventure series, but when I think about what it would take to kind of bring that game up to the standards and expectations of what the modern gaming audience would want, I think it would be about as much time and energy as it would to make a new title. Part of me is thinking maybe I should just make a brand new title and that\u2019s why there\u2019s currently no plans.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

This is actually different from what we heard from Iizuka previously. While it was said many years ago, he previously expressed interest in a remake<\/strong><\/a>, as that would allow him to iron out the game\u2019s rough edges.<\/p>\n

Iizuka has also shown interest in making Sonic Adventure 3<\/strong><\/a>. However, it\u2019s unclear if that\u2019s still something he\u2019d want to pursue.<\/p>\n
