It's well-loved for its unique storyline that features time traveling and dimension-hopping, all while celebrating Sonic's iconic status in the gaming world.
The announcement was part of the opening showcase at Summer Game Fest, a video gaming convention that often previews new games and hardware. Fans around the globe were eager to see what new titles would be revealed and SEGA did not disappoint with their latest Sonic iteration.
