Sonic Origins Plus announced with 12 new games and playable Amy

Sonic Origins released last year to somewhat of a mixed reception. While the remastered games included in the package were solid, the offering as a whole felt somewhat incomplete. Exactly one year after its initial launch, Sonic Origins Plus will be released – bringing a dozen more games as well as making Amy Rose playable in the classic quadrilogy.

Available on the 23rd of June 2023 (exactly one year after the original game’s release), Sonic Origins Plus is a new all-in-one bundle which not only fixes many of the issues fans had with the initial Origins release, but brings a whole host of additional content on top of it.

In addition to the remasters of Sonic 1, CD, 2, 3 and Knuckles, owners of the Plus expansion will be treated to 12 additional games in the form of the Sonic Game Gear titles. Unfortunately, it seems as though these games will not be remastered like the prior titles, but are instead accurate representations of the original experience – screen crunch included.

Beyond the added games however, Knuckles will now be playable in Sonic CD (an odd omission from the initial release) but even more excitingly, Amy Rose will be playable across the entirety of the remastered games for the first time – meaning Sonic the Hedgehog 1, 2, Sonic 3 & Knuckles, and Sonic CD.

Finally, purchasing the Plus expansion will net you all of the content previously limited to the Digital Deluxe edition such as premium animations, new backgrounds and more (though in all honestly these should have been included in the base game).

Sonic Origins Plus launches on the 23rd of June and will be available to buy in both physical and digital formats (with the former including a 20-page artbook and a reversible coversheet “that pays homage to the classic 1990s era of Sonic”), costing $39.99 [£34.99]. Alternatively, those who already own Origins will be able to purchase the expansion for $9.99.
