The trailer focuses on all three of Sonic’s friends and their movesets in the update, all of them being able to fight various guardians that they come across on Ouranos Island.Amy Rose has her signature hammer, but now has some more magical girl inspired elements added thanks to her fortunetelling tarot cards. These were a forgotten aspect of Amy’s that is now coming back to the forefront, where she can use these cards in tandem with her hammer to traverse the island or fight enemies. She can even ride her hammer like it’s a witch’s broomstick while her tarot cards form a wheel that can run down any enemies in front of her.
Following Amy’s gameplay is Tails', where he seems to have a combination of various gameplay styles from past entries. He can fly around using his two tails like in previous games, but now has access to a variety of gadgets and projectiles that can help him fight. Not only that, he can also summon the Cyclone, a mecha that was the basis ofTails' levels inSonic Adventure 2.
Knuckles is the last one to be featured in the trailer, where his gameplay inSonic Frontiersis also based on his playable incarnation from theAdventuregames. This includes his brawler-heavy moveset, where he can punch his way through the game’s various enemies. Sega also confirms that the update will drop tonight at 5 PM PST/8 PM EST.
Sonic Frontiersis available for PC, PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
