Not only did a new trailer for Sonic Frontiers come out, but we finally have a release date!
What is the release date for Sonic Frontiers?
The blue blur appeared at Gamescom Opening Night Live this year. In the epic story trailer packed with action, the next major installment in the Sonic franchise will arrive on November 8.
Furthermore, the game is set to release for all current and previous gen platforms, including the Nintendo Switch, Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, and PC.
What is in the Sonic Frontiers Story Trailer?
Aside from seeing what appears to be Amy Rose trapped in some kind of mysterious force field, we now understand the main premise.
The story of Sonic Frontiers revolves around our favorite hedgehog searching for missing Chaos Emeralds in a vast, alien world populated with strange-looking creatures.
We haven’t borne witness to the Chaos Emeralds in the main series of games since the release of Sonic the Hedgehog 4: Episodes I and II, titles that came out over a decade ago.

Having Chaos Emeralds be central to the game’s plot is a major return to form for SEGA, given their focus in recent years on wisps, red star rings, and custom protagonists.
The trailer also showed off more of Starfall Islands, the setting in which Sonic’s new adventure takes place. It appears as though we’ll be getting every kind of locale, from deserts to beaches to floating mesas in the sky.
Sonic also demonstrates his ability to warp through various parts of the world with magical gates.
Who is the villain in Sonic Frontiers?
SEGA has already confirmed that Dr. Eggman will have a prominent role in the story. However, in the new story trailer for Sonic Frontiers, Sonic is being chased by a mysterious being whose name is confirmed to be Sage.
It looks as though we will need to be patient for more information.
