Sonic the Hedgehog 4 Episode 2 is due to be launched on home console and eventually on the PC but the development team at SEGA does not yet know whether the game, which is based on Mega Drive era titles in the franchise, will arrive on the PlayStation Vita handheld.

Speaking to Eurogamer, Takashi Iizuka, who leads the Sonic Team, stated, “The Vita was only recently released in Europe and the US. Japan had a slightly earlier release, but it's still early days. At the moment, the team are looking at the market.”

He added, “The moment Vita was released in Japan I snapped up one myself. It's a really high spec device. I'm interested to see what kind of people will purchase it and have purchased it, and what kind of software is going to be released, and what would be the best fit for that. So I'm interested to see how it all turns out.”
