Sonic Free Riders will be a new hover-racing game to add to Sonic’s career. Using Kinect’s motion sensing, players will jump, lean, twist, and turn to control their hoverboard, while throws, shakes, and swings will be for using weapons. So far, Tails and Dr. Eggman have been confirmed as playable characters, but they should be joined by the rest of the crew.

Release is set at late 2010.
