Could a Surprise E3 Release be In the Cards?
In reporting the release of another leaked gameplay video, the German website Gamezone.de cited a June 16th release date for Sonic the Hedgehog 4: Episode I.
It is the first time a specific date has been tossed around as speculation, and there is a bit a trail as to the origin of the date; Gamezone cites a similar article from VG247, who does not cite a source for their date.
That, pared with previously leaked material touting a July release and Sega’s staunch stance that nothing is official until they say it is leads us to file this one as a rumor. But the date may be tossed around for good reason: June 16th is the second day of the Electronic Entertainment Expo, and a sudden release during the show may be the surprise Sega needs to get some attention there.
To be clear, nothing is set in stone, but if RubyEclipse is to be believed, the stage is being set for more to be officially unveiled shortly. We’ll be here to cover it all.

Seems like the dress rehearsal is almost over. Its about time for the real thing. It feels like yesterday this was “Project Needlemouse” though in hindsight I sort of liked the mystery behind that then Sonic The Hedgehog 4.
Hey! That means there may be at least one good thing coming out that day! Disgaea Infinite!
I was told like 3 days ago that it will be out on the 16th…
but the same person wouldn’t show his sources :/
well 1UP has it release date too.
See!?! SEE!?! I told you people before, 16th of june was marked places! And it makes sence since the leaked version is out! Come on June 16th Wedensday!!!
hmm… If still officaly July 2010 like Segas Sonic 4 said that thats a kick in the nuts
lol
I heard that somehwere else to
on anothers site… JUne is the best month of the yearXD not only because of sonic 4
How funny
Just in my birthday… I sincerely hope the gameplay´s end up being good enough, and let´s see if it´s overpriced or not.
That means too that the 2nd episode is in the making since some time ago.
Why do you all belive it really will be released the 16th? Nothings set in stone until SEGA has confirmed it. You jump to conclusions too soon.
You know… It´s still a rumour, but until anything else official comes out, it could really be true. This happens everytime with XBLA releases.
@edge
says the guy who hates on a game and hasnt even played it.
If it is not released on June 16, I’m guessing late June or early July.
