SEGA lawyers confirm Sonic Unleashed News

Xbox 360 PlayStation 3 Wii
News by Robert Purchese

31 March, 2008

SEGA America lawyers have accidentally confirmed the existence of Sonic Unleashed.

The legal team wrote to US blog Kotaku ordering it to remove the leaked screenshots and trailer that appeared last week.

But Kotaku argued the assets are newsworthy and claimed no violation of SEGA's rights had occurred.

So, wonderfully, Kotaku published the legal letter confirming the authenticity of the images and trailer.

"It has come to our attention that your website, Kotaku.com, has unauthorized postings of Sega's copyrighted work, the debut trailer and screenshots for Sonic Unleashed ('Work')," reads the letter.

The Sonic Unleashed trailer and screenshots in question can be found elsewhere on Eurogamer.

I don't see why they tried to stop this
a)It's got everywhere
b)Even if SEGA had been able to remove it, the fact that they had done so would've confirmed their real...ness...

That's a shame. I'm sure Sega was hoping to surprise us with it rather than it be leaked and confirmed like this. Ho hum, I'm not much of a Sega fan anyway.

It's not really worth being bothered about anyway, until it's out and we can check if the modern day Sonic Team without Yuji Naka etc haven't fucked it up.
