Sonic Origins is bringing a collection of classic Sonic the Hedgehog games to life for a modern audience on newer consoles in June 2022. SEGA is bringing some true retro classics back to celebrate Sonic's birthday, complete with DLCs and pre-order bonuses.
The digital remaster is coming soon, and here’s what fans need to know before the title's release on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, and PC.
Originally created to rival Mario, Sonic the Hedgehog has created a long-lasting legacy of high-speed and visually appealing games. In Sonic Origins, the classic 2D Sonic games will be digitally remastered and are coming to modern consoles. Here's the full list of games that are included:
The game will be released on June 23, 2022 (Sonic’s birthday), and preorders begin today, April 21. This game comes right after the success of the Sonic the Hedgehog 2 film, which recently hit theaters.
The Standard Edition will retail for $39.99 and comes with the base game and nothing else. There’s also a Digital Deluxe Edition for $44.99 that comes with some extra content. However, it does not come with everything. In a bit of a baffling move, Sonic Origins also has several DLC drops and pre-order bonuses that might not be available, depending on the version that users opt for.
At the time of writing, further extra content is only available for people who pre-order the game. This could change as time goes on. In addition to the base game, digital deluxe, and pre-order bonuses, there’s also the Premium Fun Pack DLC and Classic Music Pack DLC (both of which come with the Digital Deluxe Edition).
The game will also feature special features like the Anniversary Mode, which boasts widescreen visuals and infinite lives.
