It’s been very quiet on the Sonic Origins front. We haven’t heard anything since the game’s initial reveal back in May 2021, but something is definitely happening soon because the game has been rated in South Korea and some key art has been leaked via the back door of the PlayStation Network. You can see the key art in the header for this this article.
Sonic Origins is a new collection of Sonic the Hedgehog, Sonic the Hedgehog 2, Sonic the Hedgehog 3, Sonic & Knuckles and Sonic the Hedgehog CD. Sonic 3 & Knuckles will also be available to play in their full combined glory, and it has been promised that all games will be displayed in a widescreen resolution. This has led many to believe these ports are being based on Christian Whitehead’s mobile versions of Sonic 1, 2 and CD.
Sonic Origins is scheduled to release at some point in 2022 for “the latest platforms“. Here’s hoping more news on Sonic Origins is coming soon!
Well isn’t this a surprise! We previously knew that Jun Senoue and Crush 40 were involved in the Team Sonic Racing soundtrack, but the official Sonic channel has now made us aware that Tee Lopes of Sonic Mania fame is also collaborating with Senoue. The first showcase of the two in action is a track called Boo’s House and it’s actually a remix of the Sandopolis theme from Sonic & Knuckles. Check it out below:
Team Sonic Racing is currently due to release on May 21st 2019 after a recent delay. The game is being developed by Sumo Digital and is due for release on PC, Nintendo Switch, Xbox One and PS4.
The latest retro Sonic stage to be confirmed for an appearance in Sonic Mania is now the Flying Battery Zone from Sonic & Knuckles. The stage appears in a remixed form that has a different layout to the original, but has plenty of nods and gimmicks that call back to the original stage. Check it out below:
It’s also worth mentioning that we recently got an insight into how the 2nd act of Sonic Mania’s take on the Green Hill Zone is playing out. The following video shows how the progression from act 1 to act 2 occurs and how different the 2nd act is in comparison. There’s some interesting new gimmicks and some lovely nods to early Sonic the Hedgehog screenshots that showed mountains in the background. Take a look:
Sonic Mania will launch this summer on Xbox One, PS4, Nintendo Switch and PC.
