More 2D-Sonic next year

Still waiting for {Sonic the Hedgehog 4: Episode II}? You'll have to wait a bit longer. Speaking to Eurogamer, Sonic Team's Takashi Iikuza said that the sequel to {Sonic the Hedgehog 4: Episode I} won't be out until next year. 2011 is all about {Sonic Generations}.

"This year, 2011, is the anniversary, so we're focusing on the celebration title. But moving forward to 2012, Sonic will still be going, so I'd hope to provide Episode 2 then."

"We knew about the anniversary year, and Generations was planned way in advance. It was always our plan to release Episode 2 after Generations."

Iiuza won't comment on any Episode III though.
