During today's 30th anniversary stream for Sonic the Hedgehog, Sega teased a few new projects, one being a Sonic Origins collection boasting several of the brand's classic adventures. The broadcast also unveiled a first look at Sonic Colors: Ultimate, a remaster of the Wii and Nintendo DS exclusive Sonic Colors. In addition to showing off an announcement trailer, Sega confirmed the remastered release will launch across all current-gen consoles in September.

While these details generated excitement amongst fans, reveals for the likes of Sonic Colors: Ultimate and Olympic Games Tokyo 2020 - The Official Video Game hardly represented the stars of the show. A tease of an unnamed Sonic game at the tail end of the celebratory broadcast gave rise to the most cheer. The clip lasted a mere 30 seconds and offered little in the way of concrete information. Sonic's face never even appeared on screen. At the very least, though, fans can anticipate Sonic's new adventure to launch in 2022 on Nintendo Switch PC, PlayStation, and Xbox platforms.

In the middle of the Sonic Central digital showcase, fans received a quick glimpse at Sonic Origins - a compilation of classic Sonic the Hedgehog titles that will launch on an unspecified date next year. The collection is set to package in the following titles: Sonic the Hedgehog, Sonic 2, Sonic 3 & Knuckles, and Sonic CD. Moreover, Sonic Origins will contain extra content and features, though the publisher didn't divulge any specifics on this front. Sega made no mention of platforms either, though more information should emerge later in the year.

Some of these titles have received modern releases in the past. For instance, the Sega Genesis Classics compilation hit Nintendo Switch, PS4, and Xbox One consoles in 2018, allowing Sega faithful and newcomers to revisit everything from the first two Sonic the Hedgehog entries to Sonic 3 & Knuckles and Sonic 3D Blast.

It doesn't appear as though Sonic Origins will boast quite as many experiences as some of its predecessors. But that could be a good thing. A fewer selection of titles may allow Sega developers to focus their efforts on truly refining a handful of experiences, as opposed to filling a compilation disc with numerous games that vary in quality.
