Black Knight producer says the "werehog may return"

Something I never thought I'd have to see again.

In an interview over on Videogamer.com, Sonic and the Black Knight producer Tetsu Katano has revealed that the "werehog may return". The werehog in question, if you didn't know, was one of the main reasons for the downfall of Sonic Unleashed - Sonic would turn into the werehog at night for hack 'n slash-style gameplay.

Katano says, "I don't think that producing the Werehog was a mistake per se, but there were a lot of things we could have done better if we had more time and resources... For the improvements, I can't think of anything right now off the top of my head. If I think of any ideas then Sonic Unleashed 2 will be the time for that, so I don't really have an answer for that. But you will see the Werehog again".

What a terrible prospect. Doesn't Sega know that we never want to see the werehog again? Katano then continues: "So in the same way, unless we're going to make Sonic Unleashed 2 you might not see him again. But if we are going to make it, you might see him again. It's a possibility".

Please, please don't make Sonic Unleashed 2. If you deleted the werehog once and for all, then the game might actually be completely good rather than having one main aspect bringing the entire game down.

If you do make a sequel, then no child-pleasing gimmicks please. Thank you.
