Only Sonic Lost World to have 2013 release, says amended German press release

sega addicts germans

Sega Europe have amended the German press release that made the rounds yesterday, which stated that Sonic Lost World, Mario & Sonic at the Sochi 2014 Olympic Winter Games and the third unnamed Sonic game were all coming out this year.

The amended version now states that only Sonic Lost World has been confirmed for release this year, with the release of the other two games still undecided. Here’s the short amendment,

Richtigstellung zur Pressemeldung vom 29. Mai zu Sonic Lost World

In die Pressemeldung zu Sonic Lost World vom 29. Mai hat sich leider ein Fehler eingeschlichen: Die Aussage, nach der SEGA und Nintendo alle drei Spiele, über die sie kürzlich ein Vereinbarung getroffen haben, noch in diesem Jahr herausbringen werden, stimmt so nicht. Vielmehr steht für zwei der drei Titel noch kein Starttermin fest.

Sicher ist, dass Sonic Lost World 2013 exklusiv für Wii U und Nintendo 3DS erscheinen wird.

The sentence of interest is “Vielmehr steht für zwei der drei [Sonic] Titel noch kein Starttermin fest.” which is roughly translated to “Furthermore for two of the three [Sonic] titles there is no start date yet.”.

This doesn’t mean that Mario & Sonic at the Sochi 2014 Olympic Winter Games and the third, unnamed title won’t be coming out in 2013, it just means that Sega haven’t said either way.
