Sonic Superstars Release Date Potentially Leaked via Store Listings; October 17

Recently, fans have discovered that the release date for the upcoming 2.5D platforming adventure, Sonic Superstars, may have been leaked. Multiple retailers, notably Target and GameStop, have a release date of October 17, 2023, stated, which is in line with the game’s general Fall 2023 release window.

Of course, don’t take this leak as confirmation, but it’s seeming likely. We’ll keep you all updated on Sonic Superstar’s eventual release.

Sonic Superstars is a brand-new 2D adventure featuring Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, and Amy, taking place on the North Star Islands. New gameplay features include the Emerald Powers when Chaos Emeralds are acquired, such as enabling the ability to create clones or climb waterfalls.

Further, the visuals have received a notable upgrade, and Fang the Sniper from older Sonic the Hedgehog comics and video games, such as Sonic the Hedgehog Triple Trouble, will appear as an antagonist in Sonic Superstars.

Classic Sonic the Hedgehog designer Naoto Oshima has returned with a brand new villain. Fans can also anticipate “movements, physics, and controls feel familiar and appeal to recent and legacy fans alike.” Local four-player co-op will be available throughout the entire story, too.
