The 3DS follow-up game to Sonic Boom has been delayed by Sega. Originally slated for this year, Sonic Boom: Fire & Ice is now looking at a 2016 release instead. The team apparently needs the extra time to apply a little more polish to the game for a “a stronger, more enjoyable experience.”

The upcoming Sonic Boom games land on the 3DS and Wii U on November 11 and 18, respectively. The playable parts of Sega's new-look re-imagination of their super-fast mascot have different names: Sonic Boom: Rise of Lyric for the Nintendo home console and Sonic Boom: Shattered Crystal for the handheld.
