SEGA’s third Sonic game not coming this year
IGN’s Rich George has confirmed with SEGA that the company’s third Nintendo-exclusive Sonic title will not arrive in 2013. That puts the unannounced project at a tentative 2014 date for now.
George wrote on Twitter:
Been busy but just re-confirmed with SEGA that the ‘third’ Sonic game in Nintendo’s three-game deal will not arrive in 2013.

The initial rumor did seem rather suspect. While it came from a valid source (Nintendo’s Germany division), the fact that we have yet to see anything from SEGA’s third title pointed to a far away release. On the bright side, there is Sonic Lost World to look forward to this year, and possible the new Mario & Sonic title.
