Sonic Colors, one of the more well-liked games in the franchise's recent history, is making a comeback. Previously exclusive to Nintendo Wii (sort of), the game will make its PlayStation debut with Sonic Colors: Ultimate, a remaster of the 2010 action platformer.
If you're unfamiliar with the game, it's a 3D game that dips into side-scrolling sections, and features Wisps — a gaggle of aliens that imbue Sonic with various temporary powers. It sees the blue blur chasing down Eggman once again, of course. As for the remaster work, details are slim, but we'd hazard a guess that it'll be upgraded to full HD and run at 60 frames-per-second. We'll of course get more info on all that in due course.
The game is scheduled for 7th September 2021 on PS4. Are you looking forward to Sonic Colors: Ultimate? Drill down to the comments section below.

Not the Sonic game I would've wanted remastered or remade personally speaking
It's cool that PlayStation and Xbox are finally getting this but I just think in terms of the Boost games Generations and even Unleashed to a certain extent are far better
There's just something super vanilla and Mario-esque about how this plays. Looks pretty amazing for a Wii game though
I really liked it on Wii so there's a good chance I'll play it again, the Origins Collection was the best shown for me will be great playing Sonic 3 & Knuckles again without having to dig out my Mega Drive and Cartridges.
I think Colours was quite good and I did own it on the Wii, but Generations at 60fps would be of more interest to me. Lost World would have been a good one too, as I never played that but it did look interesting, I liked the 3DS version.
@TheFrenchiestFry I'm a little surprised it isn't packaged with Generations and Unleashed tbh
I hope it packages in the DS levels too!
They've definitely converted it to their new engine, the Wii game did not have all those lighting effects. Also, you meant to say "it's a 2D game that dips into 3D sections"
Really excited to snag this... not sure for which system yet, though. I’ve heard good things about this title and am excited to play through it in HD!
Never played it on the wii originally so I'm definitely interested. I won't get it at launch most likely since Lost Judgment comes out just a couple weeks later but I definitely see myself picking this up around Black Friday.
@Rob_230 Not sure about the DS content, but the boxart at the end has the Ghost Wisp on it, which made it's debut in Team Sonic Racing, so there's new content.
Never had a Wii and the trailer looks good!
Never really played this game on Wii so I would def pick this up if the price is right at launch that is, let's hope sega don't get too greedy with the price.
It looks like sonic generations.so i like this.i can dig this game.word up son
what a shame . again , the weakest of the boost games with the worst level design and sense of speed . sonic unleashed is extremely underrated ; the most quality and graphically demanding with a bunch of content and lengthy story , and the game is just overlooked.
really disappointed . nobody cared or talked about colors for the most part.
@TheFrenchiestFry '' and even unleashed''
oh man , i presume another werehog hater despite the millions of things the game did right and better than any boost game thus far.
@Quintumply Strangely enough there's no PS5 version, despite them listing Xbox Series X|S.
Did Microsoft buy next-gen exclusivity for this Remaster?
@KidBoruto Nah it's probably more to do with the whole Smart Delivery thing since that would mean there wouldn't have to be a discrete next gen version for it unlike Sony's platform with how backwards compatibility works
Apparently it'll play at 4K/60fps on PS5 as well according to the website
@TheFrenchiestFry Hopefully this is the case, otherwise I'm gonna be really pissed at Microsoft/Xbox.
@KidBoruto It'll be as TheFrenchiestFry has said — it's just that the Xbox One version is compatible on Series X, just the same as the PS4 version will work on PS5.
@Quintumply Then why was PS5 not listed in the trailer or press release, like the Xbox Series X|S was?
@KidBoruto It'll just be Smart Delivery stuff, I highly doubt there's a native Series X version without a PS5 version to match. There's no special treatment here
@Quintumply I still don't understand why "Smart Delivery" requires them to list Xbox Series X|S separately, but okay.
