The untitled title was spotted on a product sheet for the Sonic franchise at last week's Nuremberg Toy Fair by Spindash (https://www.spindash.de/bericht-zur-spielwarenmesse-2014/8398/) (thanks,VG247 (http://www.vg247.com/2014/02/01/sonic-next-gen-title-coming-in-2015-for-ps4-xbox-one-wii-u-report/)) and is apparently due for release in 2015.Sega previously announced it was working on another Nintendo-exclusive Sonic title - the final part of the publisher's three-gameSega Nintendo alliance (http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2013-05-17-sega-nintendo-alliance-announced-for-three-sonic-exclusives-on-wii-u-and-3ds) deal which has so far comprised Sonic: Lost World and Mario & Sonic at the Winter Olympic Games: Sochi 2014.There's no mention of the Nintendo-exclusive game on the franchise's roadmap - which raises questions as to whether the 2015 title is the same project, expanded to PS4 and Xbox One.Wii U has seen a number of its exclusive games turned into multi-platform releases in response to the console's lacklustre sales.The product sheet also contains new details of Sonic Boom, an upcoming 3D-animated TV series due to launch this autumn.Sega declined to comment on the report when contacted by Eurogamer this morning.
