Japan is going to have to wait to get its hands on Sega’s latest addition to the Sonic franchise, Sonic Unleashed.
Originally slated for release December 18th in Japan, the title’s PS3 and Xbox 360 versions have both been delayed until spring next year. The PS2 and Wii versions of the game are unaffected and still on track for release late December.
There has been no delay reported on the UK release of Sonic Unleashed, which is still on track for a Q4 release.
