The scrappy blue protagonist looks up at his enemy and raises a fist before the trailer fades to black ahead of the final Sega logo. The “Sonic Frontiers” reveal trailer from the Game Awards opens with tense music as Sonic runs through the forest. The camera zooms out to reveal a giant forest being torn up by aircrafts that are right on Sonic’s tail. As an off-camera voice calls Sonic “over here,” the speedy hedgehog narrowly dodges a vivid pink explosion. Somersaulting to safety, Sonic catches his breath at the edge of a cliffside, as if to imply a near-literal cliffhanger. Set to be developed by Sonic Team and published by Sega, “Sonic Frontiers” is expanding on the powerhouse team by leaning on beloved “Sonic” comic writer Ian Flynn to spearhead the story.

Gavin loves a bit of couch co-op, especially when he gets to delegate roles, bark instructions and give much-appreciated performance feedback at the end. He lives in Spain (the plain-y bit where the rain mainly falls) and his love for Banjo-Kazooie sonic games borders on the unhealthy.

Choosing Knuckles offers a significantly different experience to doing so as Sonic or Tails too, encouraging multiple play-throughs.

There is still a lot of work to be done and until some gameplay footage is shown, everything is just a guessing game at this point. Other characters making an appearance isn’t even concrete, but it has become a tradition at this point. At the very least, Tails and Knuckles could show up to lend a helping hand. Sonic Frontiers is scheduled to be released during the holiday season of 2022 for PC, PlayStation, Xbox, and Nintendo Switch.

He risks his life for the entrapped wildlife , and instead of sticking around to receive glory, he’s off to save another life. As you can see from the list, most of the games are sequels or connected to the original games, which makes them connected. Other ones that were released separately, like the ones on Nintendo consoles, are separated – however, they are considered alternate universe games. Originally released only for Nintendo platforms, Sonic Lost World was ported to Microsoft Windows as well. Sonic needs to stop Deadly Six from destroying the world, and the game only improved the fluidity of the gameplay but was criticized over controls and enemies.
