Sonic Mania's return to '90s high-speed sidescrolling action has a release date: August 15. It also has a new trailer with equal parts lovely sketch animations, nostalgia-laden pixel art, and some rad chiptune rock.
If you're one of those lapsed Sonic fans who wishes Sega would go back to the good old Genesis days, this is your moment. Or if you're more excited to see the future of Sonic with Sonic Forces, Sonic Mania should at least be a nice little appetizer at just $19.99 (UK price TBA). It'll be available on PC, PS4, Nintendo Switch, and Xbox One.
