More about Sonic Frontiers
While much has not been revealed about the game, Takashi Iizuka, the creative officer at Sonic Team USA, did say in a release, “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.” It looks like the team behind the game is embracing the big open-world genre so, we might get to see some new things, especially the map and how lived in it feels.
The developers have also said that players can expect a “high velocity open-zone freedom,” meaning that exploration will be a significant emphasis of the game while not pushing it too big, thus running the risk of making the game slow-paced.
You can expect more information and reveals about Sonic Frontiers from SEGA as we approach the next year.
