Sonic Revolution (Novelization)

Not to be confused with Sonic Revolution, a 2016 video game by Sonic Team.
Sonic Revolution is a fan-made novelization written by Casey McGregor of Star Technologies, and the first installment in the Sonic Revolution "definitive canon" by Star Technologies. The novel is the first in the novel series of Star Technologies' Sonic Revolution project, currently scheduled for release on June 23 2018, in time for the Sonic series' 27th Anniversary.
==Setting==
Sonic Revolution is set in a dystopian future, 10 000 years removed from the current age, after the destruction of the world at the hands of a mysterious force. This devastation inadvertently caused the animals of the world to evolve into the Anthropomorphs, a few of which include titular characters Sonic the Hedgehog, Amy Rose, and Shadow the Hedgehog, as well as the remaining and slow regrowth of the human race, including Julian Robotnik and Casey McGregor, a character intentionally based on the author. In the time of the novel, the world has been completely reformed under the tyrannical rule of the King Dynasty of Mobius, currently led by President David King. The story establishes three of the main parties in the "first trilogy": the antagonistic parties of G.U.N. and MeteorTech, formerly run by Julian Robotnik, before being overtaken by Snively Robotnik, as well as the protagonistic Resistance, led by Amy Rose, but symbolized by Sonic the Hedgehog and Shadow the Hedgehog, a group consisting of the main cast of the series, including Miles "Tails" Prower, Knuckles the Echidna, and Rouge the Bat, as well as new or returning characters such as Sonia the Hedgehog as Sonic's older sister, Casey McGregor as "the mysterious boy", and human characters such as Bill Gibbs, Bob Kem, and Beverly Scott.
==Development==
Sonic Revolution was announced in December 2017 alongside the videogame Sonic Legacy, on Star Technolgies' YouTube Channel, while the business was still referred to by its former name Canmo Corporation, for release in mid-2018, though at this point the novel was spoiled as a simple "thing" at the time, compared to the seemingly exaggerated hype of Sonic Legacy, which later was described to be, the next big Sonic game, hinted to be even better than the main series. However, at the end of February 2018, Sonic Legacy was announced to have been cancelled in favour of a Sonic Revolution videogame to be based on the novel, with a custom hero planned for Sonic Legacy replacing Casey in the story. It was also later announced that both the novel and video game were to be part of a multimedia fan franchise by the name. Since, it has also been announced that both the novel and the Sonic Revolution: Prequel Story Collection are to be available on Wattpad and Google Play Books for free. A concept art booklet with exclusive concept art for the novel by YouTube user BulbaSour has been announced, but there has been no confirmation of availability or name as of yet. As of March 2018, it has been announced that it is planned for cancelled/prototype characters such as Terios the Hedgehog and Tiara Boobowski, as well as fan characters such as Aurora the Hedgehog are planned to appear in future installments. Sonic Revolution is now considered to be the main commercial outing of Star Technologies. In mid-March 2018, an official cover for the Sonic Revolution: Prequel Story Collection was released on Wattpad along with the release of the fourth prequel story, Betrayal of a Hero (Part 1). It was also officially stated by Casey that the novel contained "immense violence, course language, realism, references of a racial and sexual nature, and dark themes, and is not recommended for persons under the age of 13".

The Sonic Revolution: Prequel Story Collection is a collection of all the Sonic Revolution "prequel stories", released and updated with new stories leading up to the release of the novel on Wattpad, and to be released along with the novel on Google Play Books. It has been confirmed that there will be 2 stories revealing the origins of Beverly Scott, Bill Gibbs and Bob Kem (both released), and 3 stories revealing the origins of Shadow the Hedgehog. The three Shadow origin stories have been confirmed to be one outlining the early life of Maria Robotnik and her illness, as well as Gerald's association with the Black Arms, one outlining Shadow's creation and awakening (released), and the third outlining Shadow's life with Maria, including their late "affair". Casey McGregor, the C.E.O. of Star Technologies, has stated that while Shadow's backstory will remain mostly the same, there will be some major changes that will serve as very important to Shadow's story arc in the novel. He also stated that the affair between Shadow the Hedgehog and Maria Robotnik, one of the most significant changes to the lore, will most likely be controversial, but has stated that the novel is "not for kids" and is instead aimed at adults with more knowledge of Sonic lore and want something new and exciting. The prequel stories are currently available on Wattpad, download from MEGA via Facebook, and in recorded form on the Star Technologies YouTube channel.
