IGN has released a new video, showcasing 7 minutes of gameplay footage from Sonic Mania. Developed in collaboration between SEGA, Christian Whitehead, Headcannon, and PagodaWest Games, Sonic Mania is a 2D Sonic game that features new zones and remixed classic levels from past Sonic games, and will offer three playable characters (Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles). The game is planned for a Spring 2017 release. Enjoy!

yay SEGA got reduced to making indie games
lol Sonic must be one of the biggest AAA franchises out there.
nah it’s not , i’m sure it was 20 years ago
Are you sure? Sonic 4 Episode 1 (2010) sold over 1 million units, Sonic Generations (2011) over 4 million, Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed (2012) 1 million <- just on PC.
Not enough COD news for you today?
no this type of gameplay is what made sonic famous, the 3D sonics have all failed and sega finally listened and went back to 2D, its not indie, its going back to its roots. or are you just too young and never knew about sonics first few games and how great they were?
i’m 32 , i was around when the original Sonic game came out
but when i see this gameplay and there’s a level from the original game from 25yrs ago , it makes me wonder why are they recycling old levels in a new game ??
It looks so smooth. :3
and the sprite animation quality….took long enough amiright?
Loving it so far.
It looks like Sonic alright, but Green Hill Zone again?
At least try to reuse stuff that wasn’t in Sonic Generations. If you must have a green first level why not go for a Sonic 3 Angel Island style for example? That had much more of a dense jungle feel.
I want a physical copy of the game SEGA don’t you dare go only for digital!!!
I need this game.
Oh yeah the music is soo good like the old ones they nailed the music sound fx animation, colors!
Must buy!
I need this.
