He states it alongside previously released DLC, so it's likely just a transcription error or a misspeak. Full quote:

A year has passed since the release of 'Sonic Racing Crossworld'. Collaborations with various IPs have continued—is there a specific collaboration that stands out as the most memorable?

Iizuka: I still remember when we first announced the Minecraft collaboration at Summer Game Fest last year; the fans cheered so loudly.

Since then, we've had so many collaborations, including PAC-MAN, Indiana Jones, and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. When those collaborations launched, a great number of inactive players who had taken a break from Sonic Racing came back.

I hope collaborations like Godzilla will similarly bring back returning players and attract new ones.

BREAKING: Takashi Iizuka has confirmed that they'll continue to "evolve" Classic Sonic alongside Modern Sonic, seemingly confirming future Classic Sonic projects. #SonicNews In an interview with InvenGlobal Iizuka stated that there are 3 pillars of Sonic: Modern, Classic, & Racing. Full quote:

If you have any concepts or features you'd like to attempt in the next title, could you share a subtle hint with us?

Iizuka: Of course, we are always working on new titles. Even now, we have unannounced projects in development and underway.
As I mentioned around the release of 'Sonic Frontiers', I consider it a foundation for 3D Sonic titles. In particular, elements built around open-zone spaces are aspects that could influence future Sonic titles, and we are currently developing with that in mind.

To add to that, we consider 2D Sonic based on Classic Sonic, 3D-based Modern Sonic, and racing games as the three major pillars of the Sonic franchise.

Right now, we aim to thoroughly satisfy the demand for racing games through 'Sonic Racing'. Of course, we also plan to continue evolving both Classic Sonic and Modern Sonic going forward.

However, it's difficult to say that all three genres hold exact equal standing as pillars. The core center among them is 3D-based

Modern Sonic. 2D Sonic and racing can be seen as elements supporting that center.

While 2D Sonic and 3D Sonic feature the same characters, they are completely different games with distinct play styles and difficulty levels. If either were to disappear, a beloved branch of the series would vanish, which would disappoint fans. That's why we cherish all three domains and want to keep evolving them.
