Public anticipation for the game was high, owing to the video's demonstration of some two-dimensional gameplay, seen as a possible return to Sonic's platforming roots. The game's existence was first brought to light when Sega trademarked the Unleashed name, and shortly after, images and a gameplay video were leaked to the public in March 2008. Gameplay will seamlessly transition between these two styles. It will focus on side-scrolling platforming levels, as well as behind-the-back, third-person stages. The gameplay style is markedly different when compared to recent games.
The title was then officially confirmed on April 3, with a small selection of screenshots and an updated video.
Screenshots of cut scenes and gameplay were posted ten days later along with a video shortly after. The name was trademarked by Sega on March 12, 2008. Sonic Unleashed is a video game in the Sonic the Hedgehog series.
