Dreadknux, over at The Sonic Stadium, today announced the date for this year’s Summer of Sonic convention. SoS ‘10, the third such community meetup, will be held on Saturday 7th August, and whilst a venue is yet to be announced, it will once again be in London. Further details will be announced in the runup to event, including whether or not an admission fee will be required for entry, which would be a first for the convention.

Personally, I’m looking forward to SoS ‘10. Last year’s convention was my first, and through it I met some very good friends. Whether this year is bigger and better than last year or not, it’s still a date that should be written in the diary of any Sonic fan. It will also be interesting to see which Sonic game is unveiled this year, if any. 2008 saw the first UK display of the Nintendo DS RPG, Sonic Chronicles, whilst 2009 saw the first public display of Sonic & SEGA All-Stars Racing. Could 2010 be Sonic 4 Episode 1’s year? We’ll have to wait and see.
