Sonic Forces pays tribute to Sanic Hegehog meme

Oh God, this again.

Sonic Forces, which purposefully erased the boundary between official canon and fan fiction, is making another bow to the Sonic community with the “Sanic T-shirt” — a free in-game item that references the seven-year-old Sanic Hegehog meme.

The MS Paint abomination is now wearable by any custom created character in Sonic Forces — custom characters being the most prolific way the game pierced the veil between what Sega had created over a quarter century and what fans have appended to it since.

For more on Sonic Forces, see our review. We weren’t impressed, scoring it a 5.0, despite all the fan service. Following the launch of the Sanic in-game T-shirt, we still score it a 5.0.
