Sega has taken the mask off of the next Sonic title by announcing the upcoming episodic release of Sonic 4. The retro 2D gameplay will include some 3D visuals and will pick up after the events of Sonic & Knuckles.
GameSpot also has a brand-new Q&A session with Sega's Ken Balough.
Sonic 4 will be released as a downloadable title on the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and Wii. It will rival the Sonic 3 and Sonic & Knuckles "episodic" titles in terms of scale and length. Look for more information soon.
