Word on the street is that a Sonic the Hedgehog mobile game centered around raising Chao is currently in the works. The Sonic the Hedgehog franchise initially introduced the Chao in Sonic Adventure as part of an engaging side activity called the Chao Garden. This feature allowed players to nurture the Chao as virtual pets, with these creatures maturing and evolving to partake in activities like racing and karate matches. The Chao Garden gained immense popularity and made a return in Sonic Adventure 2 and the Sonic Advance series. Now, a well-known Sega leaker has hinted at the franchise's potential revisit to the Chao Garden through a new game.

MbKKssTBhz5, also known as Midori, has previously divulged Sonic-related leaks and has a decent track record with information about games developed by Sega. One of her previous revelations pertained to how the Sonic franchise was crafting a Fall Guys-inspired spin-off for mobile devices. Alongside this project, Midori mentioned that fans can anticipate two new Sonic mobile games being developed by Sega.

Midori claims that one of these endeavors will be a Chao raising game, while the other will be a Sonic sports title. Both games are in the pipeline for mobile devices and will be exclusive to different streaming platforms. The Chao title will be exclusive to Netflix Games, while the sports title will be an Apple Arcade exclusive, similar to Sonic Dream Team.

Sonic Mobile Games Rumored To Be In Development

• Sonic Chao Raising Game (Netflix Exclusive)
• Sonic Fall Guys-Inspired Spin-Off
• Sonic Sports Game (Apple Arcade Exclusive)

Midori also provided an update regarding the Fall Guys-inspired spin-off game, stating that it will be released at the start of the summer. She notes that despite Sega's acquisition of Rovio last year, none of the games she's discussed so far are being developed by the studio. Midori mentions that Sega does have plans for future collaborations with Rovio, stating that Sega is also focusing on developing exclusive titles for mobile streaming platforms. When Midori was asked about why the Chao spin-off was going to be exclusive to Netflix, she stated that it was due to Netflix cutting a good deal with Sega, helping to lower development costs by putting the game on the platform.

Fans were thrilled to hear about the potential comeback of the Chao Garden, as many believed that a spin-off solely focused on raising Chao would be an ideal fit for a mobile game. Nevertheless, while Midori has a credible track record, fans are advised to take these leaks with a grain of salt and await further official information from Sega regarding these rumored spin-offs.
