The Rundown
Tackling this new year head-on
Y’know what’s power? Knowledge
Echoes In Time
Welcome back to another installment of our (at this point) yearly newsletter. 2024 was a helluva year for everyone, including us at Sonic Legacy. However, rest assured, we've been making moves behind the scenes. In this update, we'll be touching on some important key developments and future features of this project. Circumstances forced us to take a long look and reevaluate how we do things, and this is to get you up to speed. Read on to find out!
Death Egg Saga and 2025 Roadmap
As you may recall in a previous newsletter, we talked about how we managed to reach a bi-monthly cadence of issue releases because we had managed to build up a backlog of content for you, the reader. Main issues, side issues, audio drama episodes, and a few other things. That's a lot of content for a small indie team like ours, and while we would love to get issues out on a monthly basis, real-life situations prevent us from doing that. To make a long story short, 2024 was a chaotic, turbulent year. To hopefully mitigate this, the team has been discussing on how to keep a semi-regular cadence of title updates without stressing ourselves out. But first, we should discuss our current focus.
Our current priority is to get the Death Egg Saga finished. This includes Sonic Legacy Issues 13 to 19 (The "Ascension" arc and its Issue 19 epilogue), Mobius Legacy #4, and Legacy Uncut Episode 3 and 4.
Once the Death Egg Saga is concluded, we will be restructuring our team now that things have finally settled down on our end. Instead of our current methods, where we used to have about 5 to 6 issues in production at once, we'll be "downsizing and rotating". In other words, two teams with carefully selected members who can play off each other's strengths will be working on 2 issues at a time and letting the other team members rest up and do what they need to do in their day-to-day. This should consolidate production time immensely.
After the Death Egg Saga is concluded, we'll be getting into the meat of Legacy's world with our Echoes In Time Saga, and the Battle Kukku 3-parter, Shattered Sky, and new issues and episodes for Mobius Legacy and Legacy Uncut, respectively.
Information Depot - Our Very Own Wiki
Sonic Legacy is a big project. Everyone on the team, at some point or another, has supplied ideas and discussions about how to conduct and build our vast world over the last seven years, to the point we've had to keep pages upon pages of a lore bible to keep track of it all. However, those bible pages are for staff eyes only. A few of our Discord server members have talked about wanting to learn more (which, by the way, we have a Q&A channel if you have any burning questions!), and that's when we realized something important-- we had a fandom wiki setup a long time ago! Whoops.
It's still very much work in progress, but it's being built bit by bit, and it's our public access repository for all of our in-universe Sonic Legacy info, lore, characters, and world building. You might see some things there that don't have pages yet, and some that do have pages but no info, so consider that a sneak peek on our part. Don't worry, it will be filled out in due time.

What's after the Death Egg Saga?
As touched upon a little earlier, we have big plans for the comic after the conclusion of the entire saga with Issue 19. We'll be heading into a proper world adventure going forward, including diving into the expansive, vast mythos of the world and everything it has to offer, from sunken tombs, to ethereal Zones, to legendary planetoids, and a look into the past. They all have their locked secrets ready to be unveiled.
Plus, you can expect more episodes for Mobius Legacy and Legacy Uncut, diving into the backstories of major characters and side-plots we normally wouldn't be able to showcase in the comic.
That concludes our current newsletter. We at Sonic Legacy appreciate and cherish your patronage. You, the reader, are what keeps us going. We couldn't do this without you!
Until next time!
