Sega announce Outrun Online Arcade

Sega and Sumo Digital have announced the next iteration in Yu Suzuki's classic Outrun series. Sumo Digital are responsible for Outrun 2 (Xbox), and Outrun 2006: Coast 2 Coast, and the new PSN/XBLA game seems to resemble these games closely. There will be online multiplayer for up to 6 players and the game will be released early next year.

Great decision by Sega to put a downloadable Outrun on current gen consoles. It also keeps hopes alive for a full blown Outrun 3 somewhere down the line.
