Big The Cat Spotted In Sonic Frontiers
A release date for Sonic Frontiers was finally revealed during Gamescom Opening Night Live and the game has been playable at Gamescom over the past couple of days. As a result, we've been getting more info on the game than ever. For example, the Green Hill Zone Cyberspace level in Sonic Frontiers looks to have been copied straight from the tutorial in Sonic Unleashed.

Thanks to a very grainy and blurred picture, we now know that Big is back, baby.

As for who else will be popping up in Sonic Frontiers, a datamine from a while back revealed that Amy, Tails, and Eggman will show up at some point, the first two Sonic is trying to find after being separated from them after discovering Kronos Island.
