Check out the license plate
With the end of the year approaching, Sega let loose a nice surprise for fans on theirTwitter page.Sonic & All-Stars Racing: Transformedis chock full of references and fan service, and now we can expect the return ofShenmue‘s Ryo Hazuki in their much-loved racing title. Though Ryo was a playable character in the previousAll-Stars Racinggame, he was noticeably absent for the sequel. Now, after weeks of rumors and some leaks, Sega has finally come out with some official images for his return.
Surprisingly, Ryo has ditched his reliable forklift for a vehicle that transforms into various references to classic Sega arcade titles. FromOut Run,Space Harrier, andHang-On— it’s clear that the folks at Sega had some fun with this character. He’s got one hell of a license plate too. Sega really knows how to troll fans, but of course it’s all in good fun.
While we still don’t have a date for when he’ll be available, it’s likely we’ll see an announcement soon.
Is it a car?[Sega]
