Sega Teases Sonic Racing Game News

Another Sonic racing game is possibly on the way. Following rumors that a sequel to Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed was in development, the official Sonic Twitter accounted tweeted out a brief video that seems to confirm the hedgehog is heading back to the race track.

The tweet, which you can see below, only features the words "[TOP SECRET]" along with a brief, 22-second video clip. The video begins with a closeup of a car's headlight, while sounds of a revving engine can be heard in the background. It ends with the silhouette of the game's logo, with only the letter R visible.

The latest Sonic racing game, Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed, was first released back in 2012. Like its predecessor, it's a Mario Kart-style arcade racer that features iconic characters from throughout Sega's history.
