Sega has finally revealed Sonic Boom at their "Year of Sonic" event.
The new sub-franchise will exist within the larger Sonic Universe with two new games heading to the Wii U and 3DS. This new announcement is the last installment of Sega's exclusive deal with Nintendo.
The character re-designs have Knuckles looking like a gym rat and Sonic looking like a Portland, OR barista, but the game looks gorgeous thanks to the CryEngine 3 being used on the Wii U version of the game.
Sega of America president, John Chen, reiterated that, "Sonic Boom will not be replacing the original franchise."
