We have good and bad news for Sonic Adventure fans. Well, we actually have two rounds of bad news, so let's get that out of the way first: Sonic Adventure 3 isn't in development right now, and the team doesn't think a solo Chao Garden game would work.

The good news? Sonic Team head Takashi Iizuka would "love" to make Sonic Adventure 3 at some point. This comes from an interview with VGC, in which Iizuka touched on the possibility of a third Sonic Adventure game after all of these years.

The possibility of another Sonic Adventure game came up when Iizuka was shooting down the idea of a Chao Garden spin-off.

"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," says Iizuka. "If you’re asking for Chao Garden and Adventure 3, then that’s pretty much asking for Adventure 3."

Of course, many fans are asking for Sonic Adventure 3, to which Iizuka has more positive thoughts to share. "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," he explains. "It’s just one of those things that, if the stars align and it can all happen, then yeah, we’d love to make it."

So, if we get Sonic Adventure 3, then it's looking like we'll get another Chao Garden as well. But we also know that one was considered for Sonic Frontiers before being scrapped, so it's possible that future non-Adventure games will include one too.

In the meantime, the next game will be Sonic X Shadow Generations, which launches on October 25.
