Today’s a big day for gaming news, and it all kicked off with a completely Sonic-focused stream from Sega. Throughout the stream, announcements were made for the blue blur, including a remastered version of Sonic Colors. Titled Sonic Colors Ultimate, the game is currently available for pre-order and will release on September 7, 2021.
Sonic Colors originally released in 2010 and was generally well-received. According to Sega, Sonic Colors Ultimate will update the game with “stunning visuals, additional features, a new mode, and improved gameplay enhancements.”
In addition to a remaster, Sega is also developing a tie-in animated series for Sonic Colors Ultimate titled Sonic Colors: Rise of the Wisps. According to Sonic voice actor Roger Craig Smith, Rise of the Wisps is the first of many Sonic animations being developed by Sega at the moment. Rise of the Wisps follows Sonic and Tails as they try to free the wisps from the clutches of Dr. Eggman. Sonic Colors:

And Sonic s next game gets a tiny tease. Updated on 27 May 2021
Sonic s 30th anniversary livestream has come and gone, leaving a big blue streak in its wake, and while it wasn t perhaps the most revelatory of showings, Sega did at least confirm the previously rumoured Sonic Colors remaster and retro Sonic collection - as well as providing the tiniest teases of Sonic s next major game.
Starting with the remaster, it s called Sonic Colors Ultimate and will be heading to PlayStation, Xbox, Switch, and PC (exclusively via the Epic Games Store) on 7th September this year.
As those who ve played the 2010 original will know, Sonic Colors transports the iconic mascot to Dr. Robotnik s interstellar theme park for a familiar blend of appropriately high-speed into-the-screen and side-on platforming, with the hedgehog able to access handy new skills, such as a speed boost or the ability to drill underground, thanks to friendly Wisps.

Sonic The Hedgehog 2 is a sequel that fans of the blue hedgehog are no doubt looking forward to. Unfortunately, for those turning in to the Sonic Central event to celebrate the character’s 30th anniversary, there was no mention of the movie. Why wasn’t there a new Sonic The Hedgehog 2 movie trailer? Here’s the need-to-know.
Why was there no new Sonic The Hedgehog 2 movie trailer?
It doesn’t look like there was any intention for a Sonic The Hedgehog 2 movie trailer to be shown during the Sonic Central 2021 event.
Instead, the show focused on music, both old and new video games, and TV shows. There was no mention of the movie, nor any trailer or clip for fans to watch and enjoy.
