Alongside the Sonic All Stars range, which includes Air Hockey, Basketball and Sonic kiddie ride, the company will be presenting its new Sonic Dash video redemption and Sonic Blast Ball mechanical redemption titles.

Explaining the decision to hold the global launch of these two new games at the European show, Sega’s Justin Burke (pictured) said: “We have seen the rising importance of the EAS show over the years, but noticed that it is not often the launch platform for new product - probably as IAAPA is around the corner and takes the limelight. This year we decided to buck that trend and give European customers, who may not get the opportunity to visit Orlando, the chance to see new products.

“With these two great new redemption games, we are very excited and proud to launch them at EAS.”

EAS is being held on October 6–8 at Gothenburg’s Svenska Massan exhibition centre.
