Y’all! There’s a new Sonic game coming in 2022! Sega’s also releasing a remaster of Sonic Colors and a Sonic Origins collection.
Today, in celebration of 30 years of Sonic, Sega held a Sonic Central to share what’s coming next for the Blue Blur. Most of the news centered on boring crossover content like Sonic-themed costumes being added to Sega’s Olympic Games Tokyo 2020 – The Official Video Game and Two Point Hospital. But hidden among the rough were a few diamonds (literal and figurative).
Sonic Colors: Ultimate, a remaster of 2010’s Sonic Colors, is coming September 7 to PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC.
The re-releases aren’t limited to Sonic Colors Ultimate. Sega’s also re-releasing the first five Sonic games—Sonic, Sonic 2, Sonic 3, Sonic & Knuckles, and Sonic CD—as the Sonic Origins collection. No word yet on which consoles it will be available.
Sega’s known for tucking full games inside of other, larger games like an overstuffed video game burrito. Fans anticipating the release of Lost Judgement can also look forward to playing the fighting game Sonic: The Fighters as one of many arcade games nestled within the Yakuza-like.
G/O Media may get a commission
Sega also announced a symphony concert, a new animation companion to Sonic Colors called Sonic Colors: Rise of the Wisps.
