After spending nearly two years in development, the fan-made platformer tribute Sonic the Hedgehog 2 HD has at last seen a demo release for Windows platforms. Offering “an unofficial, complete overhaul of Sega’s franchise classic for the modern world,” Sonic 2 HD updates the 1992 Sega Genesis title with redrawn graphics, widescreen support, remixed music, an online multiplayer mode, and the addition of Knuckles as a playable character.

Though it solicited extensive fan input for its initial planning stages, the project will “continue a closed development cycle” from this point forward, Sonic Retro notes. A release date for the finished product has not been announced.
