It had been rumored for a while, and it is now official. SEGA and Sonic Team have revealed more information about the next modern Sonic game that had been teased earlier this year. The game is officially called Sonic Frontiers, an “open-zone-inspired experience”. According to SEGA, you’ll be able to “speed through the Starfall Islands”. Ian Flynn is the game’s story-writer.
Speaking of the story, SEGA says that “Sonic’s long-time nemesis Dr. Eggman discovers an ancient technology on the Starfall Islands and installs his AI program SAGE to hack in and take over. But there is more to this technology than he realizes, and unintended consequences immediately come to bear. Sonic must race against time to discover the truth, save his friends, and maybe even save himself at the same time”.
Sonic Team head Takashi Iizuka described the game as “a huge leap forward for the franchise, delivering an evolved gameplay experience that can be enjoyed by longtime Sonic fans and action-adventure enthusiasts alike”. Sonic Frontiers will be releasing on the Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, PC, Xbox One, Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S on Holiday 2022. An official tweet can be seen down below.
