Sonic’s 30th anniversary livestream has come and gone, leaving a big blue streak in its wake, and while it wasn’t perhaps the most revelatory of showings, Sega did at least confirm the previously rumoured Sonic Colors remaster and retro Sonic collection – as well as providing the tiniest teases of Sonic’s next major game.
Starting with the remaster, it’s called Sonic Colors Ultimate and will be heading to PlayStation, Xbox, Switch, and PC (exclusively via the Epic Games Store) on 7th September this year.
As those who’ve played the 2010 original will know, Sonic Colors transports the iconic mascot to Dr. Robotnik’s interstellar theme park for a familiar blend of appropriately high-speed into-the-screen and side-on platforming, with the hedgehog able to access handy new skills, such as a speed boost or the ability to drill underground, thanks to friendly Wisps.
