Let it be never said thatMinecraftis not a game that is about to give up the ghost any time soon. With the first part of theCaves & Cliffsupdate coming very soon, the juggernaut that is the blocky open world sandbox game is continuing to pull in millions of players each month and maintaining its place as one of the biggest selling games in history. It’s hardly surprising then that some people may look to creating a crossover between it and other franchises.
In a recent report, it’s been announced that a possible collaboration betweenMinecraftand theSonic the Hedgehogfranchise may be in the pipeline. The information comes from the recent Sonic Central broadcast which was streamed earlier in the week. In the video, which is posted below, there is a very brief shot showing a close-up of Sonic’s face built in theMinecraftworld. It only lasts a second or two, so it’s very easy to miss it. In fact, it’s entirely possible that some who watched it may not have even picked up on it.

This very brief moment is also accompanied by aMinecraftchicken, so there’s no mistaking where the clip comes from, and the voice-over announcing more information about future collaborations happening throughout the year. This could potentially hint at the possibility of something happening between the crafting game and the world-famous blue hedgehog. However, it’s important to state that there has been no official word on anything from insiders or official sources, but the report seems confident that this means something is coming.
The source speculates that, if a collaboration is imminent, it’s likely to be a skin pack. Skin packs are a very popular modification forMinecraft, such as when aCall of Duty: Modern Warfareplayer created a skin for the Captain Price characterlast summer. It barely needs to be said that the Mojang/Microsoft game is absolutely ripe for modification so the opportunity to capture theSonicseries is one that many will probably not want to miss out on.
As mentioned above, the video comes from theSonic Central event which took place a few days ago. The broadcast was livestreamed on Twitch and YouTube and marked the 30th anniversary of the firstSonic the Hedgehoggame. Seeing these two popular franchises come together is arguably something a lot of fans would love to see. At this early stage, however, it’s uncertain exactly what’s due in store, but it’s likely people will know more about it soon.
Minecraftis available now on Mobile, PC, PS4, Switch, and Xbox One.
