This morning Sega released a new trailer for the upcoming Sonic 4. The game is a cross-platform reboot of the Sonic series, going back to the roots of Sonic games with fast-paced sidescrolling instead of weird 3D platforming like recent Sonic titles.

If you've ever played a Sonic game, this trailer will make you drool:

Sega has scheduled the release of Sonic 4 for October 7th, but it's unclear when it will actually arrive on the App Store. Generally speaking, games scheduled to be released on a certain day show up for download the previous day at 11:00 PM Eastern, and filter out to the international App Stores hours before then. Sonic 4 has yet to show up anywhere, but needless to say, we're keeping our eyes out for it and plan on posting a full review as soon as possible.
