IGN UK lets the cat out of the bag
Over at Sonic Extreme they have screencaps of an IGN UK advertisement that was accidentally posted early today proclaiming November 4th as European launch date for Sonic Generations. The article also mentions that this advertisement confirmed the game’s North American launch as November 1st, though how is currently not clear. Try as I may, the only advertisements I can get to come up on IGN UK are for League of Legends and Lifesavers, suggesting the ad may have been pulled.
If Sega has any plans of an official announcement, PAX Prime is set to kick off in only a few days – and Sonic Generations will be playable on the show floor. That sounds like as good a time as any.
We’ll keep you posted.

Can’t it be like a few days earlier or later? Like, not on a school day?
Amazon has had these dates for awhile as well. I believe them to hold true.
Cool, I live in the US, so the earlier the better, I suppose. I was guessing mid to late November, but this is even better! Right after Halloween. Sweetness.
I wish most of these games could appear on a day like Friday, seriously. Anyways if this game is to come out on the first then I’ll be looking forward to that date.
November 1st. Well…that’s one thing to look forward to this school year.
Gamestop has had this date for like 2 months, this isn’t really news
The ads still up on the UK site, but the US one was only up very briefly.
Wow, little over two months til its released. Annoyingly theres so many games in November i plan to get >< i dunno how i'm going to afford them all.
Posted a video about this earlier today!
I swear to God November is like the Golden month of 2011. Every good game ever is coming out that month. Not to mention thanksgiving! Too Godlike
@Jeremy: You are correct. Still, this is good news! I am excited for this. If only November 1st could come sooner…
@DoctorEggman: Of course this sweet! We (Americans) can literally play Sonic Generations and eat left-over candy at the same time!
Places like Gamestop and Amazon often put up placeholder dates until the official ones are set in stone, so if nothing else, this seems like a relatively official confirmation.
My God, so much coming out in November. Generations, Mario 3D Land, Mario and Sonic, Skyward Sword, Uncharted 3, Rayman, Tekken, Shinobi, Ultimate MVC3, Resident Evil, etc. So awesome and horrible at the same time, i can’t afford all this shit!
Don’t take the date serious, they’re just guessing the date. I still remember sonic unleashed first release date was nov 4
Yeah, I remember some game places, namely GameStop, guessing at release dates for Pokémon games up to a year in advance and taking preorders when Nintendo hadn’t even announced anything close to a release date yet. Amazon apparently took Gamestop’s release dates as official and followed them each time, changing them when the real dates were announced. These guys may just be following rumors.
11-1-11 huh? sweet.
also, there was a post somewhere on tssz, that said uncharted fans werent going to buy generations. why the hell wouldnt we? i plan to buy both uncharted 3 and sonic generations, im not going to just pick one, lol.
11-1-11? On the same day as UNCHARTED 3!?
This is not going to end well…
i am curious will Sonic Generations come to PC? GAME has it posted but…?
Oh dude the day before my birthday oh my lord..let this be true
November first is a tuesday….that would make sense
Just sayin’ but if it’s on the UK IGN, doesn’t that mean this is a release date for Europe?
@Nick
Uncharted may be a big brand, but Sonic’s still much more popular than Uncharted. He’s been around much longer and Sonic’s just more reconizeable than Nathan Drake. I really wouldn’t worry. Generations is SEGA’s biggest game of the year, it’s going sell millions regardless of quality, that comes with the territory.
Umm… I already knew this. Gamestop had the date up on their page for about a month now.
Sonic Generations
The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword
Rayman Origins
Super Mario 3D Land
Uncharted 3: Drake’s Deception
Yep, November is going to be Hell for my wallet.
November!?!? This means that if I want it for christmass, I’m gonna have to wait almost 2 months to get it??? NOOO!!!!
theres another dutch site which always leaks release dates. They are mostly correct. And they say 4 sept
Heck yeah Sonic generations comes out on my birthday. What a twist!!
