For many,Sonic Frontiers is one of the most anticipated games of the year, with fans seeing a lot of potential in an open-world Sonic the Hedgehog game. Many have made the comparison of how going from linear stages to an open-zone is similar to Nintendo's own shift for Breath of the Wild, and the similarities are evident through the usage of combat, puzzles, and a mysterious world with a melancholic atmosphere. Fans got plenty of details about Sonic Frontiers all throughout June, which ended with a trailer during a third-party Nintendo Direct.

The next showcase of Sonic Frontiers will be at Gamescom, where fans hope that more about the game's mechanics or release date will be revealed. The event will be streamed live on Tuesday, August 23, though fans have already gotten some information about the game from other sources, such as a Japanese commercial that highlights some exciting features.
