Sega and Blind Squirrel Entertainment have released a new trailer for Sonic Colours: Ultimate, showing the upcoming re-releases’ new features and graphical upgrades.
Of course there’s the re-vamped lighting, improved graphics, 4K resolution and silky-smooth 60FPS to enjoy, but this Ultimate version of Sonic’s adventure also includes a new mode called ‘Rival Rush’ where you’ll go up against Metal Sonic for rewards. You’ll also be able to earn Park Tokens, which offers up “unique boots, auras, shoes and gloves” for everybody’s favourite Blue Blur.
There’ll also be a couple of new gameplay mechanics, such as a new Jade Ghost ability, which allows Sonic to fly around levels and pass through certain objects to reach new hidden areas. A Tails Save checkpoint system will give you something of a safety net for trickier parts of the level, and you’ll be able to grab special ‘100 Count’ rings that grant you temporary invincibility and a score boost at the end of the level.
Check out the footage for yourself below. Sonic Colours: Ultimate is currently scheduled to launch on September 7 on Xbox One, PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch and PC.
