Sonic Team boss Takashi Iizuka in an interview with Shack News stated there are no plans for any remakes or remasters of the Sonic Adventure series and there is currently no plans for Sonic Adventure 3.
"I am really appreciative of everyone who likes the Sonic Adventure series, but when I think about what it would take to bring that game up to the standards and expectations of what the modern gaming audience would want, I think it would be about as much time and energy as it would to make a new title," said Iizuka (via VideoGamesChronicle). "So part of me is thinking maybe I should just make a brand new title and that’s why there are currently no plans."
Iizuka in 2022 was asked about a possible Sonic Adventure 3 and stated there are ideas, but there are no plans for it.
"In the future, yes, Sonic Adventure 3 is there as an idea that at some point it would be cool to maybe explore, but that’s not part of the plan and that’s not what I’m doing. It’s all about Frontiers [right now] and we have no plans for Sonic Adventure 3 at this point. I just want to be clear with everyone!" Iizuka said at the time.
"But yeah, as somebody who made Sonic Adventure 1 and 2, it is on my mind as some idea that I could potentially think about in the future."

The one game that everyone wants and that would bring them back to the franchise and they refuse to make it. Haven't played a Sonic game since Sonic Heroes and I would definitely jump on Sonic Adventure 3 day one.
Sonic 2006 was arguably Adventure 3, just not called that.
They have a new style now with Frontiers, with bigger sandbox-like stages and involving the other mainline characters (Tails, Knucles and Amy) being playable after one of the updates. And they doubled it down with Shadow stages in Shadow Generations on the Generations remaster too, so it seems Adventure is kinda part of it as well.
So it feels like Adventure lives on except for the name.
If Nintendo can make Mario Odyssey, Sega can make a new Sonic Adventure. They just don't want to.
Mania 2 & Adventure 3/Remake is literally all I want from the franchise...
I swear, SEGA actually wants this IP to die
The Sonic team need a new leader then.
Sonic Team never know whats good for them
How do they keep remastering every Sonic game except the ones people want most? lol
Way to crush my balls with that statement Sonic Team.
I see his point of view, the Adventure games didn’t age all that well, they exist for the people who want to play them, maybe just make sure they are available on all platforms.
Not sure if Frontiers is the way forward though, I am more looking at Shadow Generations , which really nailed the gameplay, if they can continue in that direction, the future looks bright.
There are some people that like to think of either Sonic Heroes or Sonic 06 as Sonic Adventure 3. Maybe that’s why we haven’t gotten that game yet: they already made it in someway.
We got Sonic Adventure 3 almost two decades ago. It didn't turn out well, lol.
Sonic Adventure 2 is rated so high and usually ranked in the top 3 best sonic games of all time. Why is Sega so afraid to make SA3?
Thanks for that. I don't see what Sonic has left to offer except in the racing games. I'd love more 2D games but it will never be as good as the first trilogy.
I didn't play Frontiers so I won't say anything about that.
No problem if we get a Mania 2
