Originally launched in August last year, Sonic Mania is the latest and one of the greatest Sonic games out at the moment, and its smoking hot DLC is on the way really soon too.

Sonic Mania Plus is SEGA's next tweak to the Sonic franchise. Though it builds on Sonic Mania, we'll get two new characters, as well as the curious Encore mode, and a few more little tweaks.

Mighty the armadillo and Ray the flying squirrel were both seen in previous Sonic titles (SegaSonic the Hedgehog, 1993), and are bringing their own unique abilities with them.

While keeping things at a crispy 60 FPS, new stages and re-imagined zones will make the game look better than ever. There'll be new paths and secrets to find, and the Encore mode will keep even the veteran players busy.

Sonic Mania Plus will be available to buy either as physical copies or as a DLC if you've got the base game already. You can pre-order it now before its July 17th release.

I don't know about you, but I'm stoked to dive back into this one. Yes, I'm a Sonic fan. Come at me.
