SEGA unleashed a new overview trailer for Sonic Frontiers, with this latest one giving players a look and taste of the upcoming title before it releases this November 8 on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC via Steam. This new trailer includes a voiced walkthrough explaining the many aspects of the game, from the exploration, combat, and of course, the locations. Check out the overview trailer for Sonic Frontiers below.
This new trailer gives players an explanation of the game’s features, starting with its open-world gameplay. Sonic Frontiers will take place in both the open worlds of the Starfall Islands and various Cyber Space levels. The Starfall Islands are filled with amazing open spaces and challenging speed platforming zones for Sonic to tackle, while the Cyber Spaces are the usual “Sonic” 3D platformer levels. It also appears that Sonic can now use different abilities via a skill tree, making Sonic Frontiers an RPG as well, allowing players to mix and match certain abilities as they please. These skills include dodges, counters, parries, combos, and the new Cyloop ability. Cyloop allows Sonic to leave a trail when he circles enemies or points of interest, resulting in certain discoveries or moves.
Sonic Frontiers once again places the series’ focus on the Chaos emeralds, as Sonic embarks on a brand-new journey to collect these powerful missing artifacts. Along the way, he becomes stranded on an ancient island teeming with unusual creatures. He must now use the powers of the Ancients to stop these new enemies and platform across the five massive Starfall Islands in search of the Chaos emeralds.
Sonic Frontiers is now up for pre-orders, with Standard and Digital Deluxe Editions available on consoles and PC. Pre-ordering either edition will give players the Adventurer’s Treasure Box, which contains Skill Points, Red Seeds of Power, and Blue Seeds of Defense to give Sonic a boost on his journey.
