Watch the Gorgeous Trailer for SONIC FRONTIERS from The Game Awards

One of the big announcements during The Game Awards was the reveal for Sonic Frontiers from SEGA. The game is set to release in Holiday 2022 and it looks gorgeous. The game is set to be the “first ever open-zone-inspired gaming experience” for the franchise as you speed through the Starfall Islands. I’ll be honest, for a moment I thought Sonic was in Hyrule from Breath of the Wild. The game looks stunning and could be really fun with the new design. Creative Officer at Sonic Team USA, Takashi Iizuka said:

Sonic Frontiers is 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. With the effort of the talented developers at Sonic Team Japan, we’ve created an all-new style of gameplay experience for Sonic the Hedgehog, where players will be able to explore lush and expansive landscapes with Sonic’s signature speed and abilities. There’s sure to be lots of twists and turns around every corner in ‘Sonic Frontiers,’ and we’re excited to unveil more information about the game over the coming months.

I’m very excited for Sonic Frontiers to release next year on current and next-gen consoles. This includes Nintendo Switch, PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S.
