SEGA’s iconic blue hedgehog will be making his 2D return in 2012 on Xbox LIVE Arcade, PlayStation Network, and mobile platforms including the App Store, Android Market and Xbox LIVE on Windows Phone 7.
SEGA promise the new title will be armed with all-new character animations and a completely reworked physics engine, Episode II will expand the Sonic 4 storyline with new areas to speed through and new challenges to face.
“After twenty years in action, it’s clear that Sonic hasn’t slowed down one bit,” said Haruki Satomi, Senior Vice President of Digital Business at SEGA of America. “The first entry in the Sonic 4 saga was a major success. We’ve listened to the fans and been hard at work making sure we recapture that same spirit of fun in Episode II. We hope the fans will enjoy it.”
