Sonic The Hedgehog 4 Website Update Reveals That A Old Enemy Will Return



Sega have updated the Sonic The Hedgehog 4 Website and revealed some information about the game. The Intro section has just updated and reveals the game is set straight after Sonic & Knuckles. it has also revealed that after Eggman (aka Dr Robotnick) has gone back to one of his creations and improved on it.

Its unlikely that this creation would be the Death Egg as it has featured heavily in previous games. I Speculate that it could be Metal Sonic (Mecha Sonic), From Sonic CD, been though the intro does say that it Metal Sonic was destroyed.
