SEGA announced Sonic Mania tonight at their 25th Anniversary Event. The game is a 2D classic platfomer with reimagined levels from past entries in the series as well as some brand new experiences. The game is being co-developed by SEGA, PagodaWest Games, along with developers Christian Whitehead and Simon Thomley. Please take a look at the reveal trailer.

Sonic Team head Takashi Iizuka explained that Sonic Mania is a “passion project” that “was born out of our fans’ love of the classic Sonic 2D platform games.” He continued, “This type of collaboration is a first for SEGA and we hope everyone will be both surprised and delighted by this title.”

Sonic Mania will be available for Playstation 4, Xbox One and PC in the Spring of 2017.
