SEGA of America and SEGA Europe announced the development of a brand new Sonic title, Sonic The Hedgehog, intended for the PlayStation 3 (PS3) and the Xbox 360. SEGA hopes the reinvention of this popular franchise will thrill both the long-time Sonic fans as well as a new generation of gamers with the exciting speed and action only possible on next-generation platforms.
“We are proud to re-create our famous friend, Sonic, for a new generation of gamers on PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360,” said Yuji Naka, RandD Creative Officer, SEGA Corporation. “With Sonic The Hedgehog, we have gone back to our starting point, more than 15 years ago, to reinvent the attitude and speed that made our hero a legend. The ‘rebirth of Sonic’ will offer an unparalleled sense of speed that is only possible using the processing power afforded by the new systems.”
