Sonic Mania will be available for PS4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC. Early Sonic titles are widely considered to be the pinnacle of the series more than 25 years later, and Sonic Mania will let users play as everyone’s favorite blue hedgehog, and also as Tails and Knuckles. Originally unveiled as part of Sega’s 25th-anniversary celebration for the iconic franchise, Sonic Mania faithfully follows the 16-bit aesthetic of the three numbered Sonic the Hedgehog titles, as well as Sonic & Knuckles, all of which launched on Sega Genesis in the early ’90s. Sega announced that although the game would miss its spring launch, it would arrive before the end of summer. Sonic Mania, which remixes classic Sonic stages like Green Hill Zone and Flying Battery Zone, in addition to new levels, was last shown at SXSW in March. However, the North American Steam page for Sonic Mania retained the “Summer 2017” launch window that we’ve known, and at publication, the European trailer has reverted back to a summer 2017 window as well. Sega has yet to announce an official date for the title, but considering that the date was given in a trailer, it seems likely that the Sonic Mania will in fact launch August 15.
