Sonic Origins Rated in South Korea, Possibly Hinting at Looming Launch

In May last year, Sega celebrated the 35th anniversary of Sonic the Hedgehog with announcements of several upcoming games, looking at both, the past and the future of the series. Where the former is concerned, one of these announcements was Sonic Origins, a collection of classic Sonic titles that was given a 2022 launch window.

There have been next to no updates on the collection since then, but it seems that could change soon. Recently, Sonic Origins was given a classification rating by South Korea’s ratings committee, the Game Rating and Administration Committee (GRAC), suggesting that an update regarding its release date could be coming soon.

When Sonic Origins was announced last year, Sega didn’t mention any platforms for it, and that information still hasn’t been unveiled. The collection will include Sonic the Hedgehog, Sonic the Hedgehog 2, Sonic 3 and Knuckles, and Sonic CD, along with “fresh content” that Sega has yet to detail.

Meanwhile, later this year, open world 3D platformer Sonic Frontiers will be launching for PS5, Xbox Series X/S, PS4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC.
