Update: We asked Sega community manager Kellie Parker to clarify on the release date, she has confirmed the date is currently set for Holiday 2013 as Gonintendo’s article is incorrect. In addition, Sega has released a trailer for the Nintendo 3DS version which can be seen here.

Sega has brought the E3 asset dump truck to bring you more information on Sonic Lost World including a release date set for October 13th. In addition, you get to know the names of the Deadly Six: Zavok, Zazz, Zeena, Zik, Zomom and Zor.

In his latest plot to defeat Sonic and rule the world, Dr. Eggman has harnessed the power of six menacing creatures known as the Deadly Six.  However, when the Deadly Six rise up against their new master, Sonic must unite with his arch nemesis Eggman and explore the mystical Lost Hex in order to take them on head-to-head.  Use Sonic’s amazing new moves and incredible Color Powers to speed across a variety of unique terrains, racing inside, outside and upside down in every level.

      If this is made by the Sonic Colors team? There might be a chance of unlockable Super Sonic, baby.

    FINALLY! Sonic gets online multiplayer! Sure, it on the 3ds, but it something! 😀

      But we already got Sonic Rush Adventure and Sonic Colors DS. You’re not a real Sonic fan for not remembering that, nerr nerr.

    I bet the order of the enemies names will be the level troop order!

    Let’s face it, Nintendo won E3 this year. They announced more games very much near release than you can count on both hands. Plus, the Wii U and 3DS are the cheapest systems 😀

    The PS4 is the Facebook and Skype machine, and of course, has only shooters and movie tie-ins,

    The Xbone, is, well, the Xbone. Plus, Microsoft is cheating by putting minecraft and other amazing exclusives on it.

      Nintendo won the E3? Hahahaha Yeah bro.

      Wii U is just a 360 with a tablet, so old hardware. Also they just announced reashes of old games (DKC:TP, SSB, SM3DW, MK8) and very few third parties.

      Nintendon’t the next gen 😉

      (im getting a 3DS soon, because that console is really worth).

      It’s the Xbox One not the Xbone.

    Now put Super Sonic on stages and I’ll start saving money for this one.

    I’m really excited about this. And although I’ve said this before and I don’t honestly care all that much about it, the graphics just seem to surprise me. They just seem like such a downgrade. Iizuka talked about the reasons for it and they were very good reasons, but I zoom in on the gameplay photos and everyone’s eyes are just low quality, pixelated textures. Like, worse than Sonic Adventure 2. I’m certainly hoping that it’s just like that for now, because I seriously don’t understand why they would downgrade THAT much.

    If the game is good (and it certainly does look good), then graphics are not going to even matter, but just zooming in and seeing the textures of everything just amazes me at how much of a downgrade this seems to be at the current moment. It’s the Wii U… and Unleashed for the Wii had better graphics than this. That doesn’t really offend me like it may offend others. It’s just very shocking to me.

    Hopefully they don’t half-ass the 3DS version like they did with Generations 3DS.

    Probably not getting a Wii U, so I’ll probably pick this up for my 3DS.
