During today’s Gamescom Opening Night Live, we got a brand new trailer for the upcoming Sonic Frontiers as well as a release date announcement. Sonic Frontiers will release on November 8 later this year.
The trailer shown was a minute and a half worth of new gameplay and cutscenes. It boasts the ability to explore a wondrous land, confront a colossal threat, discover the secrets of the ancients and forge a new frontier.
We also got a look at a new, mysterious character who Sonic hesitantly recognizes (or mistakes?) for Amy. Additionally, we see some glimpses of gameplay in many of the areas we’ll be exploring.
