Core Sonic Team Working on New Sonic Title
The game is separate from the previously announced Sonic Boom.
Earlier in the year, Sega announced 4gamer [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/132090-Sonic-Boom-Segas-Upcoming-Wii-U-3DS-Sonic-Title-Revealed] that his team is, in fact, working on its own new game, completely separate from Sonic Boom.
"At the moment, the core Sonic team at Sega is working on a new title that will use the traditional look and mechanics of the series, which will get more details later during the year," said Iizuka, which i'm sure Sonic fans will be glad to hear.
As for Sonic Boom, he explained that, "At the same time, Big Red Button, an entirely new studio, is working on a new version of the entire game universe, called Sonic Boom," adding that it "is designed to accompany the delivery of a new range of toys and a new cartoon series."
So in short, he has basically told us, "Don't worry about Sonic Boom, that's just there to sell toys and cartoons. You'll get a proper Sonic game later."
Sonic Boom will release on the Wii U and 3DS in 2014, and last we heard, a "Next-gen" Sonic title was rumored to be scheduled for 2015 [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/131908-Update-Next-Gen-Sonic-Title-Coming-in-2015], which might just be the new title Team Sonic is working on.
Sonic: Lost World recently got some rather cool, completely free Zelda DLC [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/133269-Sonic-Lost-Worlds-Zelda-DLC-is-a-Mini-Adventure-Through-Hyrule].
