"I personally have no plans to stop making Sonic games for home consoles,” said Takashi Iizuka.

Sonic, Sega's longstanding mascot still has a place on consoles, one key developer of the franchise has said, following previous statements from the publisher which suggest it will be redirecting its focus to PC and mobile.

Takashi Iizuka, the head of the Tokyo based studio Sonic Team assured that Sega will continue to release console games.

“Please rest assured, I personally have no plans to stop making Sonic games for home consoles,” Iizuka told 4Gamer.

Iizuka in the statement is speaking personally about his own ambitions. It is still not certain whether Sega would green-light new Sonic projects for consoles.

In January, Sega revealed that it will be relocating its San Francisco office, and focusing on mobile and PC games in a bid to "drastically improve profitability."

Sega's statement came amid the release of Sonic Runners, the first smartphone game in the series developed by Sonic Team.
