SEGA of America announced today that Sonic Rivals 2 is in development for the PSP (PlayStation Portable). Building upon the success of Sonic Rivals, Sonic Rivals 2 will ship in the fall of 2007. The sequel to Sonic’s 2D action platformer, exclusively developed for the PSP system, features a revamped rival “jostling” gameplay system for tighter head-to-head competition. A brand new Battle mode allows two players to jump into six different multiplayer challenges by sharing just one disc using the PSP system’s Wi-Fi function. Rivalry is even further improved with upgraded power-ups and range weapons allowing players to attack or defend themselves regardless of their position.
