<p>Sega&#8217;s 2D Sonic revival, <a href="http://ift.tt/2o4Dhrp">Sonic Mania</a>, doesn&#8217;t have an official release window outside of this summer, but it appears an exact release date has been inadvertently revealed on Steam.</p>
<p>According to the game&#8217;s <a href="http://ift.tt/2qk8jg3">Steam page</a>, Sonic Mania is slated to arrive on August 15. The date can be seen at the end of the featured trailer. We&#8217;ve taken a screenshot of the date and included it below:</p>

<p>Curiously, the release date only seems to appear on European Steam pages; the trailer on the US page still lists the game for &quot;Summer 2017.&quot; Sega has not yet commented on the date.</p>
<p>Sonic Mania is releasing for <a href="http://ift.tt/2mUsZbd">PS4</a>, <a href="http://ift.tt/2mUjNDL">Nintendo Switch</a>, <a href="http://ift.tt/2nK1ajp">Xbox One</a>, and <a href="http://ift.tt/2nKlIbK">PC</a>. The game features new stages as well as remixed versions of classic Sonic levels; Sega recently released a <a href="http://ift.tt/2pwzLXK">new trailer showcasing Mania&#8217;s take on the Flying Battery Zone</a> from <a href="http://ift.tt/2qeiuBx">Sonic &amp; Knuckles</a>. A new 3D Sonic game called <a href="http://ift.tt/2qc4Qfa">Sonic Forces</a> is also releasing for PS4, Switch, Xbox One, and PC this year. Like <a href="http://ift.tt/2qdYOxE">Sonic Generations</a>, the game features both modern, 3D Sonic gameplay and classic-style side-scrolling stages.</p>
