Leaderboards, DLC, HD Supported; Screenshots Inside
This is just coming in via our News Tipster Akirahedgehog. A product page on XBOX.cm for Sonic Adventure 2 has appeared. We’re not sure the circumstances behind this page’s appearance–it could be another oops on Microsoft’s part–but it would appear a formal announcement by Sega is imminent.
The page contains screenshots in widescreen 16×9, which we have relayed below in our gallery, and the game description promises the game will be “remastered in HD.” The listing also says content downloads and leaderboards will be supported. It would appear from one of the screenshots that appears to show off Chao Karate that the Battle variant may be included in some form, though any content download could certainly be that.
If, however, you are expecting to play the game any time soon, you won’t. An October 3rd date is listed for SA2′s re-release. Unknown at this point are the other platforms SA2 may pop up on. An appearance on PSN appears likely, as would a release on Steam. We’ll wait on Sega’s proper announcement to be sure.
For the record, we told you this was in the cards back in September, when one of our trusted sources told TSSZ to expect Sonic Adventure 2 among higher quality Dreamcast re-releases coming down the pipeline.
We’ll have more information on this digital re-release when it becomes available. Thanks to Akirahedgehog for tipping us.

If you have a PS3 Sonic Heroes is already available as a PS2 Classics download, granted it isn’t a HD remaster, but better than nothing if you want a digital copy. Either that or buy the European PC release, goes for real cheap on eBay etc. that’s pretty much like having a digital copy lol.
Anyone else hoping for the Halloween/Christmas Costumes?
Leaderboards?
I REALLY hope they have online 2P with racing, shooting, and treasure hunting.
Hey, did anyone notice that they changed the life counter logo in the corner of the screen? It’s a different shot of Sonic, abf by the looks of his spines, it’s like him from 2006.
@Tenko: you do realize sonic heroes was only rereleased on the european psn not the american one (still wonder why we never got the xbox version on xbox live or the PC one on steam).
You know, I’m as huge as a Sonic fan can get and I say LET THERE BE MULTIPLAYER CHAO GARDENS D:< Other than that this looks amazing
