No plans for new Sonic 4 episodes

Sonic Team has revealed there are no plans to make a third episode in the Sonic the Hedgehog 4 saga.

Sonic 4 debuted in 2010 for multiple platforms, with a second episode currently in development for a May 2012 release.

Episode II sees the Blue Blur teaming up with long-time chum Tails, as the duo make their way across a series of lush environments as they battle against the nefarious Dr. Eggman and Metal Sonic.

However, it seems this could be the last instalment in the series.

"We are looking forward to hearing the feedback from the users for Episode 2, but we are currently not planning to release another episode," producer Takashi Iizuka told Digital Spy.

"We just want to see how the users accept this episode."

Sonic the Hedgehog 4: Episode II will be released for PlayStation Network, Xbox Live Arcade, PC, iOS, Android and Windows Phone.
