Experience the speedy hedgehog like never before in Sonic Frontiers
Everyone’s favorite hedgehog makes his return for his latest adventure in Sonic Frontiers releasing on November 8th. Zoom through an open world or as they prefer to call it an “open zone” where you can run as fast as you want with Sonic. Racing across the 5 large Starfall Islands with plenty of challenges and enemies.
In this game, the worlds are colliding and it’s up to Sonic to stop it. In other words, do what he does best.
There’s a ton to look forward to with this game. Side quests, puzzles, and other mysteries along with the traditional Sonic movements like the classic dash attack at your enemies. OG Sonic lovers will get their dose of nostalgia, but Sonic Frontiers will offer a few new features.
Combat System and Skill Tree
Sonic Frontiers will have more of a focus on their new in-depth combat system. Sonic will be able to dodge and parry enemy attacks, in fact, that will be crucial against boss fights. The creators went even further, like many of today’s RPG games, Sonic will have a skill tree. Players will have the opportunity to gain exp points in order to become stronger and unlock new moves.
Check out the new trailer demonstrating some of these new skills and general gameplay.
New Abilities
Phantom Rush – An ability that will unleash a barrage of close combat attacks almost instantaneously.
Sonic Boom – A long-range attack that sends shockwaves from Sonic’s feet as he kicks toward enemies.
Wild Rush – A powerful attack as Sonic builds up momentum from zig-zagging like a pinball. This attack is also useful for dodging attacks as well.
Cyloop – Running around in loops on the ground will dig up power rings and interact with other objects. Cyloop can also be used to break enemy shields so Sonic can punish with other abilities.
You will need to continue to unlock new abilities on the skill tree as you move through the story. The further along in the story you are, the harder your enemies become and players will have to figure out how to use Sonic wisely. Many battles and encounters Sonic will face during this adventure will require a somewhat strategic method.
Sonic Frontiers will seemingly have the nostalgic Sonic feeling as well as the modern open-world style. Will you blaze your own trail as the world’s most popular hedgehog on his latest adventure? Who knows, you might “run” into some familiar faces.
Where will you be on November 8th when Sega releases Sonic Frontiers to the world?
