Sonic Frontiers confusion cleared up by SEGA with explainer video to break it down SEGAIt\u2019s been a rocky few months for Sonic Frontiers as fans have struggled to understand the game\u2019s concept and story, but a new overview trailer looks to put all that confusion to bed. The first proper exposure to Sonic Frontiers was an extended gameplay video of Sonic racing around a seemingly foreign land with little explanation as to why, what he was doing, and how he got there. True, you could piece together multiple previews and gameplay tidbits to work it out, but it\u2019s fair to say that SEGA didn\u2019t exactly make the vision of the game abundantly clear for a while. The team seems to have embraced some of the ambiguity surrounding the upcoming, open-world Sonic game as a new 3-minute video wraps everything up in one concise package. SEGA\u2019s Sonic Frontiers makes a lot more sense now Despite being unofficially unveiled in May 2021 during the game\u2019s 35th-anniversary livestream, Sonic Frontiers didn\u2019t get any proper gameplay footage until June 2022. The footage was spectacular, but fans considered its direction to be a bit misguided and confused as it didn\u2019t really give away too much about the game\u2019s concept, and it actually took a while for proper story videos to divulge much-needed information. However, the new \u2018Overview\u2019 trailer makes amends and explains that Sonic\u2019s journey to Starfall Islands to retrieve Chaos Emeralds has been disrupted by malignant forces that send Sonic to a place called the \u2018Cyber Space.\u2019 Eventually, SEGA\u2019s adorable blue mascot makes his way to Kronos, part of Starfall Islands, and needs to explore the lands to find his best friends and solve the mystery of the location. One thing that doesn\u2019t need explaining is the vastness of the game\u2019s open-world design and how it\u2019s unlike anything seen in a Sonic game before. It retains the classic Sonic platforming that the franchise has become famous for, as well as giving players plenty of opportunities to go fast. Sonic fans will be relieved to have a clearer picture of the game, so now we\u2019ll have to wait and see if the game\u2019s November 8, 2022, release date is worth the wait and if this new direction is a swift success.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
