Sonic the Hedgehog 4 Episode II spin-dashing to PSN, XBLA and mobile platforms in 2012

The Sonic cycle continues! After the quite excellent Sonic Generations, Sega is finally ready to roll out the continuation of Sonic the Hedgehog 4 with Episode II.

Episode I had some problems, but it was certainly successful enough to warrant a sequel. The new episode will be spin-dashing to Xbox Live Arcade, the PlayStation Network, along with iOS, Android and Windows Phone 7 devices sometime in 2012.

About Sonic the Hedgehog 4 Episode II:

SEGA of America, Inc. and SEGA Europe Ltd. today announced a New Year’s resolution that?s sure to please gamers worldwide: the iconic blue hedgehog will be making his 2D return in Sonic the Hedgehog 4 Episode II in 2012. Following the award-winning success of Episode I, which took the world by storm in 2010, Sonic will continue his journey through the epic Sonic 4 saga on Xbox LIVE Arcade for the Xbox 360 video game and entertainment system from Microsoft, PlayStation Network, and mobile platforms including the App Store, Android Market and Xbox LIVE on Windows Phone 7.

Fans have been eagerly anticipating the next episode in Sonic’s new side-scrolling adventure, and SEGA has been listening closely to their feedback. Armed with all-new character animations and a completely reworked physics engine, Episode II will expand the Sonic 4 storyline with new areas to speed through and new challenges to face. For a sneak peek at what?s in store, including the arrival of a certain high-flying, twin-tailed pal who?s sure to be of assistance, check out the all-new teaser trailer here.

“After twenty years in action, it?s clear that Sonic hasn’t slowed down one bit,” said Haruki Satomi, Senior Vice President of Digital Business at SEGA of America. “The first entry in the Sonic 4 saga was a major success. We?ve listened to the fans and been hard at work making sure we recapture that same spirit of fun in Episode II. We hope the fans will enjoy it.”

Sonic the Hedgehog 4 Episode II will support Android mobile devices powered by the NVIDIA Tegra mobile processor. It will be available on the Android Market and featured on the Tegra Zone app. In addition, SEGA and NVIDIA are working closely together to develop an even more enhanced version for Tegra 3, the world?s first quad-core mobile processor.
