Sega, after releasing some pretty successful games starring Sonic the Hedgehog, has just presented a teaser trailer for the upcoming Sonic the Hedgehog 4: Episode 2 title, which teases the new villain, as well as a new sidekick that will be joining the Sega mascot.

Sonic, after going through some rather unfortunate adventures in recent years, has been slowly brought back to glory by Sega, with releases like Sonic the Hedgehog 4: Episode 1 or Sonic Generations.

Now, Episode 2 of Sonic the Hedgehog 4 is coming, with Sega having just released, via GameSpot, a special teaser trailer that presents some massive clues about the new characters that will appear in this downloadable game.

Among them, as true Sonic fans will no doubt figure out, is the villain, Metal Sonic, as well as the old sidekick of the blue hedgehog, Tails, which will no doubt help him out throughout these new adventures.

Sadly, we still don’t know when the game will be released, although Sega says it’s set to arrive onto the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, via XBLA and PSN, respectively, sometime this year.
