This week, the unreal-powered remaster leaked online in its entirety . The game can only be played via Xbox 360 emulator on PC.

The cosmetic menu has also received some cool updates, making it much easier to navigate and understand.

It's been a strange week of ups and downs for Sonic. Netflix announced that its upcoming 3D animated series will be called Sonic Prime and is coming to the streaming service in 2022. Meanwhile, several long-time voice actors from the series revealed that they won't be returning to their signature roles. Roger Craig Smith , Colleen O’Shaughnessey , and Cindy Robinson have revealed that they won't be returning to voice Sonic, Tails, and Amy in Sonic Prime.
