The Starfall Islands are related to Sonic’s pastNotice how there are many features on the islands that would only make sense if it were populated by a people with speed and abilities similar to Sonic, such as the “hamster wheels” and grind rails. You were right about gems of power coming from space, though. The game itself is all one big experiment that this entity is running, either to test Sonic himself or the capabilities of the Phantom Ruby. Someone or something steals the Chaos Emeralds and/or Master Emerald before the events of the game and uses them as bait to draw Sonic to the Starfall Islands. There will also be a prequel story starring Knuckles, which a preview seems to imply might involve some sort of bizarre storm sweeping over the island. The setup for the game (from what we know so far) has Sonic becoming isolated on the Starfall Islands with an AI voice telling him to collect the Chaos Emeralds, which seem to be held in some sort of area that requires "vault keys" from portal stages. Perhaps its name comes from the fact the Phantom Ruby (or Phantom Rubies) originally came from space and landed on the islands. The location was originally used by an ancient civilization to run various tests using the Phantom Ruby, with it being the source of most of the enemies, puzzles, and challenges the player can find. Sonic Frontiers is set to arrive in Holiday 2022 for PS4, PS5, Xbox Series X and S, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC.The Starfall Islands were originally a research facility for the Phantom Ruby, and Sonic is being used as a test subject. And Shadow, Rouge, Silver… Let us play as the others again Sonic Team! Whatever the case, the trailer evoked an almost Breath of the Wild sort of world, and if there’s any character who can make exploring that kind of environment fresh again, it’s the blue blur. Could we be seeing a new character? Some leaks have suggested the inclusion of a “ghost girl” but that really couldn’t be more vague. We aren’t shown too much here, but from both this and the trailer’s official description, we can glean that Sonic Frontiers will be an open world title set on the Starfall Islands, and will feature a variety of different locales just like any good Sonic game should!Īs for these mysterious new foes… your guess is as good as mine! I can’t help but think of the phantom ruby when I see all the purple, but we’ll have to wait if there’s any connection note also the voice that calls out to Sonic early on. Breath of the HedgehogĪs if that wasn’t enough to raise my blood pressure, there’s more news! In addition to the Sonic the Hedgehog 2 trailer, we’ve also been treated to a newer look at the next Sonic title, now officially known as Sonic Frontiers! Sonic the Hedgehog 2 debuts in cinemas March 31st next year I’ll be seeing it day one in my Sonic cosplay! No, I’m dead serious. Dare I say the best gaming film sequel ever? I mean, there isn’t a lot of competition, but still… My God, it’s beautiful… *ahem* so, we have Sonic playing superhero, because really, who wouldn’t with those powers, plus the gorgeous debut of Tails and Knuckles, the latter of whom appears to be packing some flashy powers of his own! And is that the master emerald? Oh the hype could not be more real…Ĭouple that with Jim Carrey’s Robotnik taking on a lovely new unhinged appearance courtesy of the previous film’s conclusion, and we have the makings of a brilliant sequel so far. Gotta post fast! As part of The Game Awards 2021, we now have our first look at the Sonic the Hedgehog 2 movie!
