SEGA has announced what it calls a first-of-its-kind initiative with a new campaign dubbed Fast. Friends. Forever. in which it aims to celebrate the Sonic the Hedgehog fandom and community values.
The campaign has been designed to show how Sonic and friends live by the strong principles observed in the franchise’s extensive community, including friendship, teamwork, inspiration and loyalty, whether in the Sonic the Hedgehog video games or in other avenues.
It all starts with a delightful launch trailer created to kick off the initiative, which includes original music written to inspire the same themes that the Fast. Friends. Forever. campaign revolves around. You can check it out below:
