Sonic Origins, the upcoming compilation of classic Sonic Games, has a lot of game modes. And Sega has released the first of  series of videos, entitled “Sonic Origins: Speed Strats,” which give us the rundown.

Check out the new video below

The description reads:

“Introducing: Sonic Speed Strats! Take a deep dive into Sonic Origins and learn all about the new modes and additions to this remastered collection. Sonic Origins releases digitally on June 23rd, 2022!

We have Anniversary Mode, and that features enhanced widescreen visuals, in a 16:9 aspect ratio. Then, there is Classic Mode, which enables an old-school 4:3 ratio, and it also gives you a limited number of lives.

There is a Museum Mode, which promises “never-before-seen content,” and a Mirror Mode, which reverses the levels. We also have Mission Mode, Boss Rush Mode, and, of course, Story Mode. The letter fuses the first three Sonic games into one big adventure.

The animated cutscenes are one of the more intriguing—and possibly rubbish but also possibly cool—features. And there are new animated cutscenes, which bookend each of the old games. Sega had done this, I suppose, in order to drive home the notion that this really is one cohesive game.

The new game is out on June 23rd, for PlayStation5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, and PC.
