(Pocket-lint) — Sonic's next big adventure is on the way, with a fully 3D title announced in the form of Sonic Frontiers, promising an expansive and beautiful open world to explore.

It looks like a departure for the series and could have some really interesting gameplay twists to offer — read on to find out all the key details about the game.
