Sounds like we're not done with Shadow the Hedgehog yet!
In an interview at TGS, Takashi Iizuka says he wants him in more projects:
"That's my favorite character. I want to have more places where Shadow can appeal more. I want to focus on him a little bit more." #SonicNews
@Its_Pr0wer_btch It's not only tails problem but it's alot of character too,like knuckles sometimes act like "dumb muscle" in IDW Sonic even after frontier, Amy act whatever "boring mary sue pink hedgehog with hammer" or just damsel, shadow in lunar arc act bully jerk even after Shadow generation
@Cosm_icDivine after seeing this Panel when I was planning about to buy IDW Sonic issues 88, I no longer want it anymore, why does everyone keep falling tails along other character
Takashi Iizuka is interested in games with other characters in the lead, namely Tails, Knuckles, and the Chaotix Detective Agency.
However, he specified that the resources the team possesses are limited, and there is a “responsibility of constantly creating new Sonic titles”, which makes it difficult to focus on other characters. So, instead of creating multiple separate games, the current plan is to give the wider cast more room within mainline titles.
