Sonic Origins Plus - PlayStation 5

Experience the thrill of Sonic’s adventures like never before with the newly remastered Sonic Origins Plus! This collection brings together 16 iconic Sonic titles, including 12 games from the Game Gear era, and introduces new playable characters, game modes, challenges, and a wealth of behind-the-scenes content. It’s not merely a collection; it’s a celebration of Sonic’s legacy, offering the ultimate way to experience these classic games. The heart of Sonic Origins Plus lies in its four classic remastered Sonic titles – Sonic the Hedgehog, Sonic 2, Sonic 3 & Knuckles, and Sonic CD. Each game has been meticulously remastered in high-definition, breathing new life into Sonic’s world with vibrant colors and crisp visuals. The games also feature all-new opening and ending animations for each title, adding an extra layer of polish and immersion to the experience.

Sonic Origins Plus offers two distinct modes to cater to both purists and newcomers. Classic mode stays true to the original games, maintaining the original resolution and offering a challenging experience with limited lives. On the other hand, the Anniversary Mode offers a more forgiving experience with unlimited lives and a revamped widescreen HD presentation, perfect for those who want to enjoy Sonic’s adventures without the punishing difficulty of the past.

The collection is more than just a bundle of games; it’s a comprehensive Sonic experience. It includes previously released add-on content such as Extreme Missions, Mirror Mode, additional screen borders, new character animations in menus, and additional music from other Sonic titles. These extras enhance the gameplay, providing variety and depth to the overall experience.

Sonic Origins Plus also introduces a host of new unlockables to keep players engaged. By completing missions, players can unlock Mirror Mode, new stages, challenges, behind-the-scenes content, a music player, animated shorts, special stages, and more. These unlockables add replayability and offer incentives for players to explore every nook and cranny of Sonic’s world.

The character roster in Sonic Origins Plus is another highlight. Players can take control of Sonic, Tails, or Knuckles in Sonic the Hedgehog, Sonic the Hedgehog 2, Sonic 3 & Knuckles, and Sonic CD. And for the first time ever, Amy Rose joins the playable character lineup in these legendary classic titles, offering a fresh perspective and new gameplay possibilities.

Last but not least, Sonic Origins Plus pays homage to the Game Gear era by including 12 beloved Sonic Game Gear titles. These games, now playable on current generation platforms, offer a nostalgic trip down memory lane, reminding players of Sonic’s rich history and enduring appeal.
