Sega Announces Next-Gen Sonic The Hedgehog For PS3/Xbox 360

Sega spills the beans on it's upcoming PS3 and Xbox 360 Sonic the Hedgehog title.

Sega announced today that they are currently developing a next-generation Sonic the Hedgehog title for both the Xbox 360 and the PlayStation 3.

The new game will be developed by the legendary Yuji Naka and his Sonic Team, with a main goal in creating the most realistic and intense sense of speed every seen in a home console game. Currently, Sega plans on releasing the game on both the Xbox 360 and PS3 to coincide with the franchise's 15th anniversary in 2006.

"Sonic The Hedgehog represents the most recognizable example of classic SEGA properties that we will recreate for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360," said Naoya Tsurumi, CEO of Sega of America, Inc. and Sega Europe Ltd. "When Sonic The Hedgehog debuted on the SegaGenesis in 1991, he reinvented the action-platform genre with speed and attitude. By harnessing the power of these new platforms, we are confident that Sonic will once again raise the bar for action gaming in 2006 and beyond."

"We are proud to re-create our famous friend, Sonic, for a new generation of gamers on PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360," said Yuji Naka, R&D Creative Officer, Sega Corporation. "With Sonic The Hedgehog, we have gone back to our starting point, more than 15-years ago, to reinvent the attitude and speed that made our hero a legend. The 'rebirth of Sonic' will offer an unparalleled sense of speed that is only possible using the processing power afforded by the new systems."
