Sonic Origins Plus will make Amy and Knuckles playable in classic Sonic games
A follow-up to last year’s Sonic Origins anthology is coming this June, adding all 12 of the Blue Blur’s Game Gear appearances in an edition called Sonic Origins Plus.
Sega slated the launch for June 23, which as Sonic fans know is his birthday (the franchise turns 32 that day). Sonic Origins Plus includes the games released in last year’s anthology, in addition to the Game Gear titles, which will be playable in emulation in the game’s Museum.
For good measure, Amy Rose will be a playable character in all four of those games, with Knuckles playable in Sonic CD. And for those who bought Sonic Origins last year, they can upgrade to Sonic Origins Plus with a $9.99 Expansion Pack purchased through their platform’s digital marketplace.
