Sonic must race against time to discover the truth, save his friends, and maybe even save himself at the same time. But there is more to this technology than he realizes, and unintended consequences immediately come to bear. Eggman discovers an ancient technology on the Starfall Islands and installs his AI program SAGE to hack in and take over. In Sonic Frontiers, Sonic’s long-time nemesis Dr. What’s particularly exciting, especially for those who pushed the #Flynn4Sonic hashtag on Twitter, is that long time Sonic comic scribe Ian Flynn is set to write the story. Long time Sonic Team veteran Sachiko Kawamura, who was the art director on Sonic Unleashed, Lost World and Sonic Forces is set to produce, while Morio Kishimoto returns to the director seat, having previously been in the role for Sonic Colors, Lost World, and Forces. What we do know are the main people behind the game. Take a look at the trailer below:Įvoking games such as Breath of the Wild, Sonic Frontiers promises to give players “the thrill of high velocity open-zone freedom.” While the trailer’s CG does pick up where the previous teaser left off, unfortunately how the “high velocity open-zone freedom” will look in motion has yet to be seen. In a Sonic “double-header,” the Game Awards not only showed off the first trailer to the theatrical Sonic the Hedgehog 2, but also gave us the first in-game glimpse of Sonic Frontiers. For Sonic Frontiers on the PlayStation 5, a GameFAQs message board topic titled 'Sonic Frontiers wins the Japan Game Awards Future Division 2022'. This was also where the games title was officially confirmed as Sonic Frontiers. When it comes to Sonic, after all, you can’t help but wonder what form a game will take, especially one made in the third dimension.

The game is currently scheduled to be released later this year for Xbox One, Xbox Series X, PS4 PS5, Switch, and PC. The 30-second gameplay preview of Sonic Frontiers is quite brief, but does give fans the first look at gameplay in the latest Sonic adventure. Drawing comparisons to Breath of the Wild, this new title looks like a departure from the standard franchise formula, mainly in its move to an open-world approach or “open-zone” as Sega is calling it. Sonic Frontiers was revealed last year during The Game Awards. It’s an award for the most anticipated games that were exhibited at the TGS, it was awarded with game such as Forespoken, Street Fighter 6, Like a Dragon Ishin and Final Fantasy 16 (even tho 16 wasn’t exhibited).

We can see different rails and platforms far off in the distance, and the sequence of Sonic running on a wheel seems like the game’s equivalent to a recon tower, scanning and revealing notable points of interest in the surrounding areas.

We also get a look at combat against some fascinating enemies, one of which is a massive metal claw that looks like it was detached from an even larger beast. There’s platforming, ring-collecting, and all of the regular fixings of a Sonic game present. In the brief video, we see the iconic blue blur dashing through forested areas and grassy plains. The Sonic Frontiers gameplay preview was released on the Sonic the Hedgehog YouTube channel as an IGN First ahead of a bigger reveal this June. Though not much is known about this new chapter, publisher Sega has provided our first look at gameplay in Sonic Frontiers, showing off the game’s various environments, bosses, and obstacles. The Sonic the Hedgehog franchise will expand later this year with the release of Sonic Frontiers.
