Sonic Colours Ultimate Remaster Out Now

I’m a big sonic fan, and that’s hardly surprising given that I’m in my late 30’s, as I grew up with the little blue guy and his pals. From my first experience of Sonic on the Master System and Game Gear, through to the Genesis, Saturn, Dreamcast and beyond. However, I amazingly never played Sonic Colours on the Wii. Most likely because I was too busy with Mario Strikers, but alas, my time has come, as Sonic Colours is now available (again) on PC, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and the Nintendo Switch!

Sonic Colours Ultimate

The game isn’t just a straight re-release, of course. It has been updated to Sonic Colours: Ultimate, thanks to the latest remaster! Developed by the award-winning studio, Blind Squirrel Entertainment, Sonic Colours: Ultimate brings a fresh hue to the celebrated game with enhanced visuals, additional features, the new ‘Rival Rush’ mode, providing players with the ultimate Sonic experience.

About the Game

In Sonic Colours: Ultimate, the evil Dr. Eggman has built a gigantic interstellar amusement park bursting with incredible rides and Colourful attractions – but he is powering it with a captured alien race called “Wisps.” Use Sonic’s lightning speed to free the Wisps and learn the secrets of their amazing powers as you explore six unique Colourful worlds, each filled with dangerous enemies and hurdles to overcome. Sonic will be tested on this exciting journey to free the Wisps, whose mystical powers can be harnessed to grant special abilities – and with their help, and yours, it is a test he’ll pass with flying Colours!
