I wish I could say they did, but frankly they didn't. Silver was reintroduced in Rivals, but every writer takes the 06 backstory for granted. He's just...Sonic's friend from the future.
To win, you need to adapt, and to adapt, you need to be able to laugh away all the restraints. Everything holding you back.Because then he wouldn't be a Trunks reference.
Just make it so that whatever event causes Silver to come back from the future in a game is the event of that game (or something after it) that he believes Sonic and friends couldn't handle on their own. Then it becomes a stable time loop. IDW explained his presence in Forces through the Metal Virus as being "there was some vague threat which wiped out all life in his timeline (why he was spared, I have no idea), so he came back around the time of Forces. That wasn't actually the threat, so he stuck around until they actually did find and stop the threat, the Metal Virus.
Ah, right, gotcha. Then just have him come back whenever shit gets really bad. Yes, this does prompt Meanwhile, in the Future…, which is a weird trope to consider, but if people actually want him to come back, there should be a reason. (or it's Sonic's birthday)

They just casually dropped a murder mystery visual novel
Talk is cheap on satellite but all I get is staticI know this is an April Fool's joke, but.
That's an actual Steam page.
Is there actually a full game to this joke? Because I'd be down.

Downloading this now. Wonder if it's canon? I wouldn't put it past them to have a gag ending where Sonic's "murder" was a total misunderstanding.

I mean, what the actual what?!
(And is this the closest we'll get to a Chaotix game even though they're not the leads here?)
Finally, a successor to Mario Is Missing!.
Also...does this mean, we can a TV Tropes page out of the Murder of Sonic the Hedgehog? It id legitimately playable.

Have they thought about rebooting Silver, in a fashion? Since that timeline never really happened, he could show up again with everybody acting like they've never met him before.
