Sega has announced Sonic & SEGA All-Stars Racing: Transformed, a sequel to their arcade kart racer featuring Sega characters such as Sonic himself, Dr Eggman, AiAi, Vyse from Skies of Arcadia and Gilius Thunderhead from Golden Axe. The game is once again being developed by Sumo Digital.
The gimmick of Transformed is that the tracks will feature multiple terrain, and will allow the player to transform their vehicle from a race car to a speedboat or a jet plane. The game will also feature an “All-Star Meter” which is filled by performing “daring and stylish” play. When filled, the game will allow the player a boost.
Sonic & SEGA All-Stars Racing: Transformed is due to be released sometime in late 2012 for every imaginable platform including PC, Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.
