Team Sonic Racing PS4 PlayStation 4

Team Sonic Racing is shaping up fairly well, with interesting team-based mechanics injected into traditional kart racing goodness. One of the bigger question marks over the title is its roster of characters -- without SEGA's other properties to flesh it out, this game's lineup consists purely of Sonic's friends and foes, which isn't necessarily a good thing. Just announced are the below three characters: Silver the Hedgehog, Blaze the Cat, and Vector the Crocodile.

Just in case you're unsure of who these are, Silver hails from the infamously terrible Sonic the Hedgehog (2006), Blaze initially starred in the Sonic Rush series, and Vector's first gig was all the way back in the SEGA 32X game, Knuckles' Chaotix. Together, they make up Team Vector in Sumo Digital's upcoming racer.

Are you excited to see these three in Team Sonic Racing? Drift into the comments below.
