Sonic Frontiers Reveals Overview Trailer Detailing Story, Combat, Platforming & More

Sega and Sonic Team have finally published an overview trailer for the upcoming highly anticipated Sonic Frontiers. No new details are mentioned throughout this video as it instead serves to neatly compile general umbrellas of information, such as the story premise, exploration, combat, and much more.

You can view the Sonic Frontiers overview trailer below:

Throughout Sonic Frontiers, Sonic finds himself stranded on the Starfall Islands after being separated from his friends, Tails, and Amy. A mysterious AI-like voice then begins guiding him to find the Chaos Emeralds and defeat the island’s Titans, which will supposedly save his friends. However, a new character, Sage, is impeding Sonic on his quest to do so.

Sonic Frontiers features an “open-zone” gameplay style, where players will freely explore five distinct islands housing unique biomes, puzzles, enemies, and more. Combat is a direct focus this time, with several enemy types to best and a skill tree to sink resources into. Moreover, the Cyber Space levels provide some familiar speed-centric linearity veteran fans can embrace.

Sonic Frontiers is releasing for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, and PC on November 8, 2022.
