‘Sonic Origins’ announcement trailer
In a trailer released on the official Sonic the Hedgehog YouTube channel, the titular blue hedgehog can be seen with familiar faces, including Tails the fox and Knuckles the echidna. There was also the hint of new gameplay modes such as “classic” and “anniversary” as well as all new animated content.
Sonic Origins is scheduled to release on 23 June 2022, which die hard fans may know is the same day that Sonic the Hedgehog was first released back in 1991.

In terms of pricing, the game is set to retail at £32.99 (Sonicthehedgehog.com) for the standard digital edition or £36.99 for the deluxe edition. Speaking of which, the latter will come included with extra missions, music tracks from the game and new character animations.
