SEGA confirmed a November 8th release date for Sonic Frontiers with a new story trailer at Gamescom 2022. We get to see more gameplay of Sonic running at high speeds, collecting rings, grinding on rails, and targeting enemies to attack. Some new abilites you may notice are combat attacks, running alongside walls, and using the Cyloop to create a circle of light around objects to interact with them.
This game starts off at Starfall Islands, a mysterious archipelago where Sonic, Tails and Amy were supposed to investigate the disappearance of the Chaos Emeralds before their plane was sucked into a wormhole. The trio ended up on one of the island’s Cyber Spaces, but Sonic managed to make it to Kronos Island. This open world includes many familiar elements including springs, boost pads, and grind rails. However, if you still prefer 16-bit games, there’s this fan-made 2D version of Sonic Frontiers.
- Vivid 7” OLED screen
- Local co-op, online, and local wireless multiplayer
