The trailer for Sonic Frontiers showed a lot of cool locations that Sonic can go for. Hopefully, they’ll also be on Sonic Frontiers, or a version of them will make their appearance here. It’ll be OK if he isn’t here, but it’ll be hilarious if he is.Ĭhao (lots of Chao): The adorable little scamps of the Sonic games have always been one of the staples when they made their debut. After all, he always seems to stay alive even when he should be dead. It makes a lot of sense for Mecha Sonic to follow after Sonic even in this new game. Mecha Sonic: Next is Mecha Sonic, a recurring villain in the franchise and a cool one at that. After all, having all 3 of the series’ most awesome characters would be a blast. But that’s a sacrifice we’re willing to make. So much so that if they’re on Sonic Frontiers, they might take Sonic’s thunder a bit. Knuckles and Shadow: As per usual, two of the biggest names on the Sonic Games are Knuckles the Echidna and Shadow the Hedgehog. Here’s a list of the characters that will hopefully appear on Sonic Frontiers: However, other fan-favorite characters will hopefully make an appearance or will play a critical role on Sonic Frontiers. Tails and Amy Rose are going to have a role in the game as well, which is why they’re counted above. Sonic, of course, is a given, followed by Dr. Hopefully, we’ll find out more on South by Southwest this year or on another event Gamescom, Tokyo Game Show, EGX, or a Nintendo Direct.Īs of right now, only two characters are confirmed to be appearing on Sonic Frontiers. As of right now, we have only seen a cinematic trailer showing Sonic running away from something, in addition to some footage of places in the game. We don’t know that much about the plot of Sonic Frontiers as of yet. In short, if Sonic Team can be creative and do interesting stuff with Sonic Frontiers, then this might be a good game. Or perhaps places where he can increase his speed to do long jumps and other stuff. For example, things that Sonic can interact with mid-fight can affect the battlefield. This means that there are a lot of things that they can add to the open-world that can be unique additions due to the game being on the Sonic Franchise. However, what we do know is that Sonic Frontiers gives the Sonic Team a blank slate when it comes to what they can place in the world. This could mean a lot of things and could mean others, but as of right now, we don’t know. SEGA, being very careful about what it’s saying, stated that Sonic Frontiers will give players not only “open-zone freedom,” but also that it’s the franchise’s first open-zone-inspired experience.

We currently don’t know if it’s a full open-world game, or if the biomes of Starfall Islands would be a self-contained world of their own. The fact that they’re going for quite an ambitious setup is certain to be daunting though, and hopefully, Sonic Frontiers delivers.Īs of right now, SEGA’s been pretty careful and tight-lipped about the nature of Sonic Frontiers’ open world. He said that they need to expand the Sonic Universe and bring new features and environments into the Sonic Series. The developers, especially their Creative Officer Takashi Iizuka stated that Sonic Forces was a lesson about this whole dilemma. However, it’s not a fully open world, and that makes a really big difference. Yes, they already made a few 3D games, and they do work pretty well. They’re reworking quite a bit of Sonic’s usual shenanigans to make him work on a 3D open-world area. However, do keep in mind that Sonic Team is working from the absolute bottom when it comes to open-world. However, given how much Breath of the Wild showcased itself, a few comparisons would always be a given. There are a lot of comparisons to Breath of the Wild by some of the fans and critics, though. Starfall Islands also features a pretty diverse set of biomes that Sonic can go through. The game centers around Starfall Islands, and using Sonic, they’ll try to explore, find out its mysteries, and stop the usual Dr. They did have a lot of experience in creating cool environments, after all, in a lot of Sonic games. This is the first foray of Sonic Team into an open-world game, though the graphics don’t show it. As we’ve already said, Sonic Frontiers is an open-world, action-adventure game with a side of 3D platformer.
