The new Sonic game from Sonic Team was teased last year with a CG trailer involving Modern Sonic, Classic Sonic and a backdrop of a burned down city with giant robots terrorising the place.The recent SXSW panel has now revealed the final name for the game codenamed Project Sonic 2017: Sonic Forces. Here’s the original CG reveal, now with the proper title inserted:
Sound edgy, too edgy. We all know what happened with Shadow The Hedgehog- one of the edgiest take of the Sonic games with some interesting ideas but poor execution. However, the gameplay will be more in line with Sonic Colors and Sonic Generations, one of the better recent games from the team.
Here’s a glimpse of gameplay with Modern Sonic. The sense of speed is back, and the quick platforming seems not too distracting from the pace of the sequence.
Sonic Forces will include gameplay of Modern Sonic, Classic Sonic and one more yet to be revealed.
Sonic Forces is set to release by the end of the year for the PS4, PC, Xbox One and the Switch.
