There were rumours that Sega was in talks with Sonic's voice actor from the Dreamcast era about a potential return, although it would seem that that's off the cards now. The reason for his original departure was never officially confirmed, and he had reached out to fans thanking them for their support. THANK YOU.from the bottom of my blue heart.💙 /KOLi2MJnUi- Roger Craig Smith May 26, 2021 I hope to honor your support and passion as I'm officially back voicing #SonicTheHedgehog in games.Ĭan't wait for ya to see what we have planned! I can't fully express my gratitude for the crew and community.🙏 Having provided the VO for yesterday's trailer (seriously, if you haven't watched it yet and you've got the slightest sliver of nostalgia for Sega's speedy mascot, prepare to be hit squarely in the feels), the voice actor broke the news of his surprise return on Twitter with a picture of a broken blue heart all sewn back together and mended: The performer has a sizeable list of video game credits and seemingly no shortage of job offers, but his retirement here came after a decade of voicing everyone's favourite blue video game character (yeah, take that, Mega Man!) and some fans were taken aback by the news. That Roger Craig Smith is slipping the red sneakers back on might come as something of a surprise considering he only announced his departure from the series back in January this year. Well, this is unexpected! Following on from yesterday's touching trailer accompanying the announcement of a 30th anniversary Sonic stream to be broadcast tomorrow, it seems that the character's erstwhile voice actor (in the games, that is) is returning to lend his vocal talents to the hedgehog's upcoming game projects.
