SEGA has confirmed that it will be delaying the release of Sonic Unleashed in Japan on PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 in order to improve the quality of the title.
Curiously, the game is still on track for release in western territories this side of Christmas, though Japanese gamers will have to wait until Spring 2009 in order to get a taste of the spikey blue hero’s latest antics.
However, it remains to be seen whether or not the western version will receive the same improvements as its Japanese counterpart later down the line.
Sonic Unleashed on PS3 is due for release in North America on December 12, with Europe getting the game slightly earlier on November 28.
