Would they technically be considered 26th anniversary games then. If Sonic Mania is released on 23 June this year (which could be a possibility though the date is not announced yet), then it would be a 26th anniversary game (or could be considered if it was released close to that date like within a week before or after that date; just my opinion), even if it's not a special Sonic game released on every fifth-anniversary of the franchise.

For Sonic Forces, not at all since Late 2017 is too late to be considered an anniversary for Sonic. Sega is not promoting mania or forces as anniversary games. They are still celebrating the 25th anniversary of sonic though
