Sonic the Hedgehog 4: Episode II has been officially announced and is coming sometime in 2012, Sega revealed today.
In what will be a fairly lengthy wait for an episodic series (as long as we don’t use Half-Life as the benchmark), Episode II will be coming more than a year after release of Episode I in 2010. Today’s announcement mentions that the physics are being “completely reworked” in this new game, which is very welcome news for those who felt that particular problem plagued Episode I. The game will also see the return of Tails, as the trailer above teases in not-very-subtle fashion.
