Sonic Dev Shares Grim Prediction for Pixel Art

Developer for the Sonic the Hedgehog franchise and head of Sonic Team, Takashi Iizuki, recently suggested that pixel art doesn’t have much of a long-term future in the video game industry and that his team is preparing for the change. Pixel art is as old as gaming itself, and there will always be a certain charm to the simple designs for many who grew up with classic games of the 1970s and 1980s. Even plenty of younger gamers have come to love the style, and there are still lots of great games to play for those who love pixel art being released today.
