SEGA confirmed today that Sonic the Hedgehog 4: Episode 1 will be available via Xbox Live Arcade, Playstation Network and WiiWare from Summer 2010.
Described as offering 'sublime 2D gameplay through beautifully rendered HD environments', the game offers players the opportunity to return to a much loved gaming character once again.
The game will enable players to access each level separately from the main menu so they can easily replay their favourite sections and will see players work through a number of different zones, inspired by the Mega Drive era.
“Sonic the Hedgehog 4 Episode I is a return to the classic game style of the original Sonic games” commented Gary Knight, European Marketing Director SEGA Europe Ltd. “It’s great to be able to offer fans of the Sonic series the type of game they have been asking for in a high definition experience.”
