The official SEGA BLOG shed new light on Sonic's latest game today and finally gave it an official name after it's video unveiling last week, Sonic Generations. The video posted by SEGA America and SEGA Europe last week saw Sonic racing against his former, 1991 self. Nothing more was known about the game - until now!
It turns out that the game will be a complete celebration of the last 20 years of Sonic and will be a HD re-imagining of some of his past games. There will be three distinct ways to play including classic sonic which see's you running along a 2D plain (much like in Sonic 4) and the new 3D style akin to games such as Sonic Adventure 2 or Sonic Heroes.
SEGA have briefly outlined the story which includes 'time holes' - This will see Sonic travelling through time and pairing up with old forgotten characters, as well as classic characters from his past - Even his past self!
“Sonic Generations will certainly be a fitting celebration for Sonic’s 20th Anniversary. By having the classic 1991 Sonic that many fans know and love team up with his modern day incarnation, we are bringing back the nostalgia of the early days of Sonic and combining it with the innovation and stunning HD technology of the modern gaming era. Sonic Generations will bring to life the last twenty years of Sonic’s universe in a truly unique and imaginative way.” - David Corless, Global Brand Director for Sonic.
The game is set to be released Winter 2011 on the 360 and PS3. At this point it is not likely to be on a Nintendo console but with all these Wii 2 rumours lately, as well as developers reportedly saying they have had "dev kits for months", who knows what may happen from now until winter!
All I know is, Sonic is back on top form! Check out the new Gameplay video released today by SEGA:
