Sonic Mania Plus rolls out in July

Last yr’s Sonic Mania was a return to the hedgehog’s days of plain ol’ side-scrolling platforming. It was a celebration of nostalgia, although, made by a small crew with roots within the fan sport scene. So ah, positive, go on, wham in some bizarre obscure playable characters. With no horrible cutscenes, I’ll have the ability to faux Mighty The Armadillo and Ray The Bubsy are model new anyway. Those two are arriving in Sonic Mania Plus, an expanded model that’ll come to us as DLC – on July 17th, Sega introduced right this moment.

Sega clarify Plus thusly:

“Sonic Mania Plus builds off the momentum of one of the best platform games of 2017, Sonic Mania, introducing two new playable characters from past Sonic games, Mighty the Armadillo and Ray the Flying Squirrel and an Encore mode that will provide a fresh look to familiar zones with new challenges and layouts for new and veteran players alike. Competition and Time Attack modes will receive an update allowing four player competitions, and ghost challenges for time trials.”

Here, see a few of that in right this moment’s new trailer:
