![]() Hopefully, it works and becomes the light at the end of the tunnel for Sonic the Hedgehog. Trying something new is worthwhile when a franchise is 30 years old. If Sonic Team can pull this off, Sonic Frontiers could be a fantastic addition and revival of the franchise. It will be interesting to discover the connections between Starfall Islands and Sonic’s story. I gave it a dark ruined type vibe as if the logo was in a ruined cave. Yes, we know the game is based in Starfall Islands, but this setting has never been covered in a Sonic game before. Welp here it is, Project Sonic 2022 now officially called SonicFrontiers This logo was WAY overdue, I couldn't quite find a design that I liked. Another mystery is Sonic Frontier’s location(s). There is no indication of characters or the story yet. It would be interesting to see Dr. Eggman take a back seat in place of a bigger, badder threat. The voice sounded like Amy, but the villain is far from certain. Who is speaking to Sonic? Who are the main villains? There are plenty of other questions to ask. But Sonic Frontiers will hopefully have its own identity, especially if speed is a core gameplay element. By no means is Sonic Frontiers the only culprit of this as Pokémon Legends: Arceus, among others, has too taken influence. Even the drastic change in Sonic the Hedgehog’s formula is comparable with that of The Legend of Zelda. From graphics to landscapes, to music to even enemies, similarities have been spotted throughout the trailer. Players can explore a variety of biomes, so it will be interesting to see a range of alluring locations.įrom seeing the images and trailer, there are obvious comparisons to The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. It is also promising that with this initial trailer, we have been shown environments that look incredible! I want to explore these locations and hopefully – while this is a Sonic game – we get to slow down from time to time and take in the beautiful landscapes. With the time Sonic Team have had to work on Frontiers, hopefully it fulfills the feeling of speed. To get a real feel of speed, this world must be expansive otherwise, the gameplay will be too “stop and start”. Unlike Rise of Lyric, it seems this game will be about speed. What is particularly interesting in this description is the focus on high velocity. Hopefully this time, Sonic is appropriately represented in relation to gameplay and level design. The last time we had this innovation was Sonic Boom: Rise of Lyric. Now, there is nothing wrong with this, but for a series that is now over 30 years old that has failed to do this effectively in recent entries, it’s time for something new. Sure, there are often alternative routes to take, but Sonic levels are often linear. For the longest time, main series Sonic games have had a very simple objective, which is getting from point A to point B. ‘An experience like never before, accelerate to new heights and experience the thrill of high velocity open-zone freedom.’Ĭhanging the Sonic game formula is intriguing. On the Sonic the Hedgehog website, this is all but confirmed as Frontiers will continue the current gaming trend of expansive open-world games. So, we have learned a bunch from its first trailer! The main highlight is that Sonic Frontiers looks to be an open-world game. Nobody knew what to expect as very little was out in the open prior. On December 10 th, 2021, we received the initial trailer for Sonic Frontiers. ![]() With the success of Sonic’s 2020 film outing – and with a second film on the way – it is time for the Blue Blur’s video games to catch up! Sonic Frontiers hopes to change everything for the franchise, making it a titan in the gaming industry once more. While Sonic Mania and Team Sonic Racing are fine additions, main series games have been far from impressive. The trailer definitely appears to be going for a Breath of the Wild style vibe, with shots of Sonic looking out over vast landscapes, but we’ll have to wait for a proper gameplay reveal to see how big the scope of Sonic Frontiers actually is.In recent years, Sonic the Hedgehog has become a stale franchise. Sega didn’t show a real look at gameplay for Sonic Frontiers, which isn’t set to arrive until holidays 2022, but studio is promising “high velocity open-zone freedom,” which could indicate levels with more room to explore. Originally teased earlier in 2021 as part of Sega’s 30th anniversary celebration for the Sonic franchise, Sonic Frontiers is the first new Sonic game since the release of the much-maligned Sonic Forces in 2017 (which itself had been announced to celebrate the franchise’s 25th anniversary). ![]() But Sonic Team still is making another 3D Sonic game: Sonic Frontiers, which was formally announced with an early preview at the 2021 Game Awards.
