Sonic Frontiers has been a rather baffling project so far. PC Gamer’s Morgan Park saw a 30-minute playable demo during not-E3 and though he thought it was “bad”<\/a> in the way many modern Sonic games are, he also couldn’t wait to play more. This open-world, puzzling platformer looks like the hedgehog’s attempt to get a little Breath of the Wild, but how that works as a tiny mammal whose sole desires include going fast and fast food, lord knows. In any case we’ve now seemingly got a release date due to a new Japanese trailer.\u00a0<\/p>\n

An unlisted video on an official Japanese Sonic YouTube channel has shown that the game is set to release on November 8, 2022. The short 30 second video<\/a> shows a little gameplay, including a massive structure Sonic runs up, as well as a quick flick between some of the settings the blue blur will encounter during his adventure.<\/p>\n

There is also a voice in the background of the video monologuing, as all good dramatic montages need. I don’t speak Japanese so I can’t comment too much on YouTube auto translate authenticity, but the narrator says something about a mighty enemy standing in their way and the constant ability to move forward despite challenges.<\/p>\n

\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

At the very end of the trailer there is a card showing a November 8 release date and the confirmation that the game will come to Steam as well as consoles. Also there’s a cheesy rock song in the style you’d see as intro music for Rooster Teeth anime RWBY screaming about Sonic and his Frontiers which I rather enjoyed.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The trailer still makes Sonic Frontiers look pretty weird. Not in a bad<\/em> way, but in a way I can’t understand how this project is real or coming out soon. Some of the shots from the trailer look like they belong in an early Halo game and I have no idea why we’re climbing up monsters that look like Pok\u00e9mon legendaries, but we’ll find out more in November. \u00a0<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
