Sonic Unleashed… Box art?

Never trust a box folks.

Yesterday, MKSkillz sent us a link to Play.com showing off what might be the Sonic Unleashed Box art.  While we always appreciate the heads up — we don’t always post about leads if there doesn’t seem to be enough substance behind them.

I think we might need to take a step back here.  While this certainly looks compelling, I’m going to suggest that this might not be the official art for the game.  It could be.  But folks are jumping to conclusions it seems.

If you want my honest opinion, the “Box Art” in question looks like it could be a Photoshop mock-up.  I know it’s on Amazon, so it must be official, right!? Well, not so much, as Amazon allows users to upload their own product images, and it’s not rare to see placeholders for upcoming games in online stores like this.

So in short, I don’t mean to be raining on this parade, but I do think we should take one tiny step back and wait for the official word from SEGA before making any final judgment calls here.

    It does look real. But also it does look like some one did a photo shop on this number. But i’m agreeing on waiting for the final word from sega.

    @KC Cross: Your boxart reminds me of the Sonic Adventure 2 one since it shows to characters side by side. Hope the final boxart looks alot like yours or better ^_^

    My idea is that it’s from SEGA, but it’s a placeholder. It’s not the final.

    I certainly hope not. It just doesn’t have that “oomph” that I would expect from a Sonic game cover, you know.

    It certainly looks proffesional though
