There’s nothing quite like going back to your roots to find yourself, and it seems like Mr. The Hedgehog is giving it a shot.
Tonight at San Diego Comic-Con, SEGA revealed Sonic Mania, a callback to the blue anthropomorphic hedgehog’s heyday. A 2D platformer with “core classic gameplay”, Sonic Mania is set to release for PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC in Spring 2017.
Included in the game will be brand new areas, as well as reimagined zones from Sonic The Hedgehog, Sonic The Hedgehog 2, Sonic CD, and Sonic The Hedgehog 3 and Knuckles. You will have the option to play as three different characters: Sonic, Tails the double-tailed fox and Knuckles the Echidna.
SEGA has said they will release more details about the the game later this year. You can view the announcement trailer below.
