An Explosion Of Sonic Games Hits Steam

Today finally sees the release of Sonic CD on Steam. Huzzah for PC users, I hear you cry.

But that’s not all. Steam users also finally get to play Sonic 4: Episode 1, as well as the Casino Night DLC for Sonic Generations to allow you to get your pinball on AND if that wasn’t enough for you, you’ll be able to get special Sonic-related bonuses for your Spiral Knights character as well!

By purchasing Sonic CD over Steam, you get a FREE Metal Sonic outfit for your character.

You can also get the above armour as well as a Tails accessory for your character by doing an in-game energy purchase. Be aware though, that both offers on the Spiral Knights accessories are only available until FEBRUARY 1ST. So, best act quick if you want those goodies.

SEGA also uploaded a preview of what these armours look like on a character:

Here’s the official press release from SEGA:
