“We have been working with Sega to re-createSonic 3 & Knuckles“
There is now aSonic ManiastudioSonic Originsconnection.
The cat is out of the bag withSonic Origins, and that means that Headcannon, the studio behindSonic Mania,can officially confirmthat they had a hand in its production. Here’s the full statement from the studio:
“Headcannon is proud to announce that we have been working with Sega to re-createSonic 3 & Knucklesfor their upcomingSonic Originscollection!”
Specifically, they note that they worked on theSonic 3 & Knucklesportion of the game, while simultaneously explaining their additional involvement: “assisting” in the pre-production ofSonic CD,co-developingSonic 1and2, and their work on the aforementionedSonic 3.
They also clarify that “Sonic Originsand its integration and presentation of these games is separately created and curated by Sega.” So before the reviews hit next month, you may get some sort of idea of who actually worked on this re-release. That increasingly matters these days in an era with uneven remasters/remakes!
This release seems like a slam dunk, including theSonic ManiastudioSonic Originsconnection:outsideof thefrankly mind-boggling monetization strategy. Why this retro release was broken up into a Ubisoft-style chart that looks like it was from the mid-2010s is a question for an investor.
Headcannon is proud to announce that we have been working with@Segato re-create Sonic 3 & Knuckles for their upcoming#SonicOriginscollection!
This completes the official “Remastering” of the mainline classics and marks our fourth time out with#SonictheHedgehog!
