Sega's 30th-anniversary stream for Sonic the Hedgehog brought a bunch of announcements, including a remaster of Sonic Colors, a 2010 platformer that originally appeared on Wii and Nintendo DS. Sonic Colors: Ultimate will release on PlayStation, Xbox, Nintendo Switch, and PC on September 7. Sonic Colors: Ultimate is available to preorder now at multiple retailers, and you get a cute bonus by securing your copy early.

Preorder Sonic Colors: Ultimate Digital Deluxe Edition
$45
Sonic Colors: Ultimate will also have a $45 Digital Deluxe edition that comes with a handful of additional goodies:
- Early access -- September 3
- Exclusive music
- Gold and silver wearables
- Exclusive player icons from the Sonic movie
- Sonic movie boost
It's not available to preorder just yet, but we expect it will go live soon on the PSN, Xbox Store, Switch eShop, and Epic Games Store.
The Sonic Colors remaster is based on the Nintendo Wii version, which has both 3D action and side-scrolling sequences (the DS version was pure 2D side-scrolling). Sonic Colors follows the Blue Blur on an adventure to thwart (once again) Doctor Eggman's quest for world domination. Set in outer space, Sonic Colors sees Sonic visit numerous planets, racing and fighting his way through creative levels and boss battles. We awarded the original game an 8/10 in our Sonic Colors review. While Sonic has had an up and down history since its early '90s heyday, Sonic Colors is one of the better regarded Sonic games to release over the past 25 years.
Sega also revealed Sonic Colors: Rise of the Wisps, a two-part cartoon series that will see Roger Craig Smith reprise his role of voicing Sonic.
