[*](https://pressreleases.triplepointpr.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/032009sega_logo.jpg)**SAN FRANCISCO & LONDON – July 16, 2012 – **In a totally unexpected, surprise announcement at the 2012 Sonic Boom community fan-fest during San Diego Comic-Con, SEGA® of America, Inc. and SEGA® Europe Ltd. have officially announced the upcoming HD remake of legendary Dreamcast title Sonic Adventure 2*™ for PlayStation®Network and Xbox LIVE® Arcade for the Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system from Microsoft.
