SEGA has confirmed, reports Eurogamer, that the promising-looking Sonic Unleashed, the latest adventure to feature the firm’s flagging mascot, will be released on the Sony PlayStation 2 and PlayStation 3 in November this year.

Sonic Unleashed, many predict, will mark a return to form for the popular videogaming figure, whose performance hasn’t met expectations in recent years. Unleashed features new gameplay mechanics centering on a day/night environment change, all new combat, and new special moves.

Once again, Sonic and Dr Eggman are at odds with one another, this time because the evil professor has destroyed the world, splitting it into pieces that our hero must help bring together again. Players will visit seven continents in an attempt to return everything back to normal.
