SEGA has been doing well by their blue blur recently, and many gamers are excited for the upcoming Sonic Superstars title that’ll take things back to its 2D roots, albeit with 3D graphics. Either way, the game looks fun and will feature some old friends and looks coming back to have a speedy time. At Gamescom today, SEGA dropped a new trailer for the game focusing on the multiplayer elements you can enjoy with friends. As you might expect, it’s going to be a wild ride.
