Before Sonic makes the jump into "open-zone" gameplay, take an extensive look back at some of the Blue Blur's very best games.
Sega's latest compilation features remasters of Sonic the Hedgehog 1 and 2, Sonic 3 and Knuckles, and Sonic CD. Here's what you need to know.
The Sonic classics collection was announced nearly a year ago for a 2022 launch, and might finally be edging closer to release.
Sega announces that a third Sonic the Hedgehog movie is currently in production, along with a live action Knuckles series for Paramount+.
Ian Flynn, whose currently the head writer for IDW's Sonic the Hedgehog comic series, is also confirmed to be penning the story.
Sonic will venture through the Starfall Islands to battle new foes on Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, PS4, PS5, PC and Nintendo Switch.
Though it's currently not live (and only returning a "403 Forbidden" message), an announcement could be right around the corner.
The free DLC provides "Sonic Wear" Layered Armor, new Layered Armor for Felynes and Palamutes, and new event quests for the same.
New event quests will add Sonic the Hedgehog-themed layered armor, outfits for Palicos and Palamutes, and Rings to collect in stages.
This could be the final name for Sonic Rangers, the rumored open world title releasing in 2022 for previous and current gen platforms.
Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack will include titles like Super Mario 64, Sonic the Hedgehog, and other classics when it launches.
But Sega wanted to " take the occasion of the 30th anniversary to announce that a brand new title was in development."
The classics collection will compile Sonic the Hedgehog, Sonic the Hedgehog 2, Sonic 3 and Knuckles, and Sonic CD.
