It’s out on Sonic’s 31st birthday
Sega have confirmed theSonic Originscollection and announced it will launch on June 23rd, Sonic’s 31st birthday.
The classic side-scrolling Sonic games are part of the remastered collection, which includes Sonic The Hedgehog 1, Sonic The Hedgehog 2,Sonic 3 & Knuckles, and the decentSonic CD. Would’ve been nice to get some of the Game Gear stuff on there too, but hey-ho.

Sonic Maniadevs Headcannon have worked on all the separate remasters in the collection, although theyclarify on Twitterthat Sega are responsible for putting this together as a single package.
Sega have decided to release two different editions of Sonic Origins, with three DLC packs (one free if you pre-order) and some really weird choices of what’s behind the additional payment. These range from extra music tracks to character animation in the main menu. Most cheeky is that hard missions are only included in the Premium Fun Pack DLC or Digital Deluxe Edition, the latter being an extra £4 on top of the Standard Edition. Pre-orders of the Standard and Deluxe Editions also get access to mirror mode. It’s just a little baffling.
Sonic Origins isn’t the only hedgehog ‘em up we’ll see from Sega this year.Sonic Frontiers was announced last yearat The Game Awards and is due out later in 2022. It’s one of the 3D ones. Yay?
Pre-orders for Sonic Origins are live onSteamat £33/€37/$40 for the standard edition, and on Epic Game Store. It’ll be appearing on the cadre of PlayStations, all the many Xboxes and Nintendo Switch too.
