SEGA has officially announced the upcoming release of 'The Chaotix Detective Agency,' a brand-new Sonic the Hedgehog audio drama set to debut on January 27, 2026, across major podcast platforms.
This latest venture from SEGA expands the Sonic universe into the realm of podcast storytelling, bringing together beloved characters and a noir-inspired narrative for longtime fans of the franchise. 'Chaotix Detective Agency' centers around the iconic Team Chaotix—Vector the Crocodile, Espio the Chameleon, and Charmy Bee—alongside Sonic the Hedgehog himself.
The audio drama promises a unique blend of "massive mystery, investigative intrigue, thrilling action, and plenty of saxophone," according to a teaser released through SEGA's official social media channels. This serialized story launches listeners straight into a global adventure as Sonic and Team Chaotix are enlisted to solve their most significant case to date.
The narrative focuses on the high-stakes theft of a priceless relic from the Station Square museum, with Dr.
Ivo "Eggman" Robotnik positioned as the lead suspect.
While details about the episode structure remain limited, SEGA has emphasized a compelling fusion of detective storytelling and classic Sonic action. A star-studded cast brings these iconic characters to life.
Roger Craig Smith reprises his role as Sonic the Hedgehog, with Keith Silverstein voicing Vector the Crocodile, Matthew Mercer as Espio the Chameleon, and Colleen O'Shaughnessey as Charmy Bee.
These actors have contributed to numerous Sonic media projects and are highly regarded within the gaming and animation communities. Team Chaotix has a rich history within the Sonic franchise, first appearing in the 1995 SEGA 32X title 'Knuckles Chaotix.' Since their debut, the trio has evolved into prominent supporting characters, featuring not only as a playable team in 'Sonic Heroes' but also in additional titles such as 'Shadow the Hedgehog' and 'Sonic Forces.' While 'The Chaotix Detective Agency' shifts the spotlight to a new storytelling medium, it continues SEGA's legacy of expanding its flagship IP in innovative directions.
With the audio drama's combination of dynamic voice talents, engaging detective storylines, and familiar Sonic universe elements, its January 2026 release is poised to captivate veteran fans and newcomers alike.
