Sonic’s Teaser Trailer Now Live

SEGA today released their official teaser trailer for their up and coming game, as part of the celebrations of Sonic’s 20th Anniversary.

Judging by the apperance of the trailer, it’s clear that a lot of work has gone into making this game something special. Sonic starts off running through a white landscape, it almost looks like snow, until it becomes apparent that it’s a normal “first zone” type of area, that just lacks colour. Before long something else appears… Classic Sonic. Yes, Sonic of old and the new style Sonic running along side one another.

One thing we can be certain of – it’s not Sonic 4 Part 2 as the title is a PSN and XBL release only at the present time. So it could be Sonic Chronicles, or it could be something completely different. Only time will tell.
