Siliconera has discovered a rating for Sonic the Hedgehog 4: Episode 2 at Korea’s Game Rating Board website, which could mean that SEGA will soon be ready to start going public with this next episode soon. Until now, SEGA’s not given much details outside of the fact that they are working on Episode 2 and that it will be linked to Sonic CD. We’ll keep an eye out for further developments and pass them on here.
When contacted by Eurogamer, SEGA declined to comment.

Thanks to MoDeRn frokeggnog3 at the SSMB for the heads up.
episodic games should be releases sooner not 2 years LOL
Well it’s not 2 years. xD
Also Iizuka-san commented on that saying that they had to focus on Sonic Generations that’s why they left Sonic 4 on the sidelines.
I couldn’t care less when they release them, so long as time, effort and affection has been put into them =)
This can’t be any worse than Sonic 4 Ep 1… Can it?!
I loved episode 1, has that magic atmosphere of the old games, I will buy day one
Hopefully this will play more like Sonic CD than Sonic 4: Episode I…
Super Peelout FOR THE WIN!
Word.
I’m betting money on 31st December. WHOS WITH MEH?
Dude, that’s gotta be when Sonic CD is re-released! I’d expect early next year, like January-March!
Amy will appear in Episode 2.
Yes! Cant wait! I have been looking forward to this even more thann i was looking forward to Generations. Im in the minority that loved episode 1. The physics even grew on me, although I would be 100% for tweaking them to be more like the classics. Even if i liked episode 1s physics more there is simply no excuse for Sega not to make them more like its predocessers.
Sonic 4 Ep 1 was a good game, not perfect as it had its faults like many Sonic games. What I found strange is that a lot of people moaned about the mechanics of Sonic CD, the spindash and that the game feels slower than Sonic 1,2,3 etc. Whereas the spindash for Sonic 4 Ep 1 is ten times worse than Sonic CD, and Sonic feels even slower in Ep 1 than in CD.
I had no problem with the spindash on Sonic CD. S0 you had to wait two seconds for the spindash to charge up, so what? The Peel out move was just as good. Visually looked better with the ‘figure of a eight; for Sonic’s feet’ when you did the peel out.
So I think Sonic CD is a much better game than Ep 1. If Sonic 4 Ep 2 mechanic’s copied Sonic CD it would be a big improvement.
Ep 1 was still a good game/episode though. My main dislike was that it just felt too short. Needed six or seven levels as four was not enough in my opinion.
They also need unique level themes. Sonic 4 ep.1 might as well have been called Sonic 1 ep. 2 because the levels were so similar to the first game.
