After a lot of waiting, we finally have a release date for Sonic Mania, the newest 2D Sonic game that looks and plays like the originals on Sega Genesis. Sega has announced that the game will come out on August 15 for PS4, Xbox One, PC and Nintendo Switch and will cost $19.99 USD.

There is also a new trailer that came out featuring the older Sonic CD animation style, which looks beautiful seeing it in higher quality. That style of Sonic has always been my favorite, so I’m glad to see it again, even if it was just a minute and a half. And finally, here’s an overview of the game provided by Sega:

“Experience the ultimate celebration of past and future in Sonic Mania, an all-new 2D Sonic adventure running at a crisp 60FPS with stunning HD retro-style graphics. Multiple playable characters give you the ability to go explosively fast as Sonic, soar as Tails, or power through tough obstacles with Knuckles’ brute strength. You can re-live the Sonic of the past with an exciting new twist on classic zones while fighting against new bosses and Dr. Eggman’s evil robot army. Go head-to-head with players in Competition Mode or play in Co-Op Mode with a friend. Sonic Mania is developed by Christian Whitehead, Headcannon, and PagodaWest Games in collaboration with Sonic Team. Welcome to Sonic Mania!”
