"The demand for another Sonic tabletop game has been undeniable, making it tough for us to keep Sonic Speed Battle a secret," acknowledges Alex Kessler, CEO of KessCo. "We’re excited to introduce a game inspired by some of our favorite Sonic titles like Sonic Adventure 2. With more than 20 characters and three game modes, there is something here for Sonic fans and tabletop game fans of all ages."

Ian Flynn, the prolific and fan-favorite writer who has chronicled Sonic adventures since 2006, joins artist Thomas Rothlisberger (Sonic the Hedgehog 30th Anniversary Special) for this essential component of Sonic’s ongoing saga.
