Now that SEGA has revealed Sonic the Hedgehog iv: Episode 2 to the world via a gameplay footage trailer, they've releasing more and more information and assets for the game. Simply these details are spread out all over the place online, and who has time to observe them all? I practice, of grade!

First upward, the Sonic 4 website has been updated to provide story, graphic symbol, and background info about the new game. The official Episode II story:

"The fierce battle from Episode I was only an overture…

What was Dr. Eggman searching for in the Lost Labyrinth?

What was Mad Gear built for?

They were all a mere puzzle piece of a grandiose project schemed past Dr. Eggman.

As Piffling Planet, where "Sonic CD" took place, approaches Sonic's globe in one case again, Dr. Eggman'due south whole scheme will be revealed!"

I love how it ties both Episode I (which had no in-game story) and Sonic CD into Episode II's events (which Ken Balough mentioned in our interview terminal year). The site as well reveals what happened to Metal Sonic after his defeat in Sonic CD, details most several of Episode Two'south new robotic enemies, and descriptions of two of the game's expected four zones, Sylvania Castle and White Park Zone.
