Sonic the Hedgehog voice actor Roger Craig Smith has surprised fans by announcing he’ll once again be voicing the iconic character, four months after Sega confirmed his departure.
Smith – whose other notable video game roles have included Ezio Auditore da Firenze in the Assassin’s Creed series, Chris Redfield in the Resident Evil series, Batman in Batman: Arkham Oranges, and Mirage in Apex Legends – had voiced Sonic since 2010, even lending his vocal talents to the character in the Wreck-it-Ralph films.
However, back in January, Smith tweeted, “Welp, 10 years was an amazing run. Onward to new zones!”, alongside an image of a broken blue heart. Sega later confirmed what fans had already suspected, announcing Smith’s departure from the Sonic role.
