After new screens of Sonic the Hedgehog 4: Episode 2 leaked onto Xbox Live, Sega has taken the welcome initiative of going ahead and sharing a bunch more images from the title. The new pictures include a good look at some of the game's detailed zones, the Sonic 2-style bonus stage, enemies including the episode's antagonist, Sonic CD's Metal Sonic, and some team action between Sonic and the newly-returned Tails.

Sega also says there'll be a new trailer for Episode 2 making its debut next week. The new clip's scheduled to go live February 23, with the full episode due for release in May. As big Sonic 4 fans, we're looking forward to seeing more.
