SEGA has announced Sonic Origins Plus, an updated version of 2022’s Sonic Origins that adds a bunch of new content and features to the collection, coming to PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One and Switch on June 23rd.
We reviewed Sonic Origins last year and enjoyed it, saying “Sonic Origins keeps the focus on the hedgehog’s early core entries, polishing them up to a fine sheen and creating an addictive ecosystem around them that breathes new life into each title. There are a few missteps and grubby mechanics to forgive, but otherwise this is well worth diving into for old-school Sonic fans.”
