[UPDATE]
The official press release shared a reveal trailer as well as a release window (this Winter).
[ORIGINAL STORY]
Team Sonic Racing has been just leaked by Walmart (yes, them again) ahead of the likely official reveal later today. A new racing game had been rumored for quite a while after the successful Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed and now we've got confirmation for it, alongside the first screenshots.
So far, this listing only confirms a Nintendo Switch release. However, it's fair to expect the game to launch on PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One as well. The current release date is a placeholder, though (December 31st, 2018). Chances are the game will be playable at E3 2018 and if that's the case, expect a full report from our team on site.
