SEGA has finally announced the release date and details for Sonic Origins, a collection of classic remasters from yesteryear.

Sonic Origins will feature Sonic the Hedgehog 1, 2, Sonic & Knuckles, as well as Sonic CD. Each game in the collection will have HD visuals, while totally maintaining the classic look. There will also be new content, modes and more.

According to the official press release, Sonic Origins will feature:

  • Classic Mode: Go old school with the Classic Mode and experience the multi-game collection of legacy Sonic games in their retro form with classic challenges. This mode features the original game presentation and will play in the classic finite live and game over style.
  • Anniversary Mode: The Anniversary Mode provides a full-screen display and offers players an infinite number of lives to keep the fun going without any game overs.
  • Missions, Medallions and Museum: Put your skills to the test and earn medallions by competing for various missions throughout the games. Players can spend medallions to unlock new content from the vault, try the Special Stage and more.
