Ah Sonic, you polarising bugger you. ONM reports that - whether you like it or not - Sonic will return with a bang in 2013.

European head of brand licensing at Sega Sissel Henno has told Toys 'n' Playthings magazine that the developer is going big on all things Sonic:

"Over the next year there will be a big focus on the expansion of [Sonic licensed] toy distribution across Europe. Similarly, we will also be growing the apparel, publishing and stationary categories. We will have several new digital titles launching as well as a new boxed game, so there will be plenty of opportunities to link marketing campaigns across games and merchandise."
