A favorite among Sonic the Hedgehog aficionados has been officially announced by Sega. Sonic Adventure 2 was revealed as part of the Sega Heritage old school revival during the company’s Sonic Boom event at San Diego Comic-Con.

Sonic Adventure 2 was leaked last month as an Xbox Live Arcade title, so it was fair to assume that the game would be headed to the PlayStation Network, as well. It’s good to see, in an official light, that that’s certainly the case.

Check out the big announcement in the video above. As a huge fan of crowd pops, I absolutely love the reaction from the Sonic faithful when Sonic Adventure 2 appears on the huge screen.

Watch out for more info on the HD remake of the beloved 3D Sonic title.
