One of many hot rumours floating about right now centres around developer Sumo Digital and the purported return of Sonic The Hedgehog in vehicle racing form. As well as suggestions that it'll be entirely focused on the blue marsupial, a second toy maker has come forward with a new toyline tied to an upcoming Sonic racing title.

It's been five and a half years since Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed, so we're certainly due a new one, and with so many rumours from so many sources, it's starting to become the worse kept secret in video games.
