Yesterday, SEGA released a trailer for their upcoming release “Sonic Mania Plus”. The video shows Ray and Mighty hopping in to join Sonic and his friends on their adventure. We also get a look at the newcomer’s abilities as well as some of the changes that will be made to levels in the game’s upcoming “Encore Mode”.
Fans who have already purchased a copy of Sonic Mania will be able to upgrade to the “Plus” version for only $5. A physical version of the game will also release costing $30 and including holographic packaging, a reversible SEGA Genesis cover, and a 32 page art book.
You can take a look at the trailer below:
It has recently been confirmed that Geralt of Rivia from the critically acclaimed The Witcher series will be featured as a playable character in the upcoming title Soulcalibur VI. In addition, his inclusion will feature a stage based on Kaer Morhen from the game, a place where witchers were formerly trained.
Soulcalibur VI is expected to release some time this year. You can see Geralt in all his glory in the video below:
If you’re a fan of Capcom’s classic run-and-gun platforming hero Mega Man, then you’re in luck!
Capcom recently announced on their Mega Man 30th Anniversary live stream that the Blue Bomber is receiving a new title. Dubbed “Mega Man 11”, the title will put Mega Man back in the spotlight where he’ll face new robot masters in 2D side scrolling action.
The game is slated to release on PS4, Xbox One, Steam, and Nintendo Switch late next year. We’ll be keeping a close eye on Capcom as more news comes out about the game.

Earlier this week, the guys over at SEGA gave us a look at a brand new level for Sonic Forces. Titled “Casino Forest”, the level sees Classic Sonic running through some ancient ruins being turned into a full fledged casino complete with neon lights, springs and bumpers, and a full moon in the backdrop.
In IGN’s footage of the stage we can also see Tails periodically talking to Classic Sonic via radio, making it sound as if they are searching for Modern Sonic. You can take a look at some footage of Eggman’s colorful casino in the footage below:
A couple days ago, the official Sonic Twitter account took a poll asking if people wanted a collector’s edition for Sonic Mania. Many people flooded the polls saying yes, and with only a few saying no. A couple days later, pictures of what would be the collector’s edition leaked onto various websites. It was eventually confirmed by the official Sonic Twitter account to be real and that it would be available on PS4, Xbox One, and PC.
Lots of celebration from the community occurred and the pre-orders sold out on Amazon (don’t worry they’re available again.) The set includes a classically styled box, a 12’’ figure that makes the “SEGA” startup sound, a cartridge cast with a golden ring, and a metallic collector’s card with the download code. The entire package will cost 70 US dollars. Unfortunately, it is only available in America. But in order to compensate for Europe, if you pre-order Sonic Boom: Fire and Ice you will receive one of those old Sonic hats from the Sonic Colors pre-order bonus. The pre-orders for the PS4 and the PC versions are becoming best-sellers which will remind people that many still show an interest for Sonic and his games.
The upcoming first person, team-based shooter “Overwatch” has announced that it is receiving a beta for players to try out before the full game releases on May 24th. Players who are interested in trying the game will have a chance to do so from May 5th to May 9th; however, you can also pre-order the game to get early access to the beta on May 3rd. If this game has caught your interest or if you’re trying to get your feet wet, then the beta might be worth checking out.
