Sonic the Hedgehog 4: Episode II

Sonic the Hedgehog 4: Episode II is a 2.5D platformer for next-gen consoles, and marks the 2nd episode of Sonic the Hedgehog 4 and is currently under early development. It was announced saying it will have new zones and bosses and many other things we haven't seen before plus it was said that thanks to the sales of Sonic the Hedgehog 4: Episode I the game will likely have a bigger budget. It is tied into Sonic CD in an unknown way, but Sonic CD is defined as the game's spiritual prequel. There will also be a new physics system in the game since Ken Balough said fans gave bad reviews over the physics in Sonic the Hedgehog 4: Episode I as well as a brand new graphics engine.

Trivia

 * Unlike Episode I, this game will be released (apart from Xbox Live, PSN and iOS devices) for the Android Market, PC and Windows Phone. This episode will not be released for WiiWare.
 * This is the first game since Sonic & SEGA All-Stars Racing to promote Tails as a playable character (not counting the digital re-release of Sonic the Hedgehog CD).
 * Also in creativity for promoting Tails, the art and styling for the game's box art represents Tails' two tails in place of the Number 2.
 * Recently, Ken Balough, brand manager of Sonic the Hedgehog 4 has hinted a Wii U release, stating that just because it is not on the Wii doesn't mean that SEGA isn't supporting Nintendo platforms.
 * Though Sonic and Tails' modern counterparts are starring in this game, the first trailer uses Classic Tails' tails from his CGI artwork in Sonic Generations. This could possibly hint at a option to use the classic models.
 * Pillars very similar to Aquatic Ruin Zone can be seen in the banner at the top of the cover for Sonic Super Special Magazine #3. This combined with the return of the wheel switch from Marble Garden Zone has cast doubt in many fan's minds that Episode 2 will feature completely original levels.
 * However, though, the Badnik Steelion could be featured in a water or ice stage, and the boss Egg Serpentleaf could feature a forest stage, so there could be new stages in Episode 2.
