Sonic Frontiers is looking to be one of the biggest shake-ups to the Sonic the Hedgehog franchise yet, as it will be implementing an open-world format. The game will still feature linear stages like past entries in the form of Cyberspace levels that can be found in the overworld. Sonic Team has even stated that the Cyberspace levels are One-Third of Sonic Frontiers' content, with much of the focus being on the open-world environments. Players have been getting to grips with both of these gameplay styles thanks to a recent demo at Gamescom.

After a rough first look at the game, overall impressions of Sonic Frontiers after Gamescom have been more on the positive side. Many fans were able to try out an early build of the game and see how the combat, open world, and cyberspace stages all tied together. Alongside this demo that was open to the public, others were able to try out a section that was further in the game known as Ares Island. Portuguese gaming website The Enemy gave some insights into what to expect, with this area being where players will find one of Sonic's friends: Knuckles.

Sonic Frontiers Details Amy's Role, Kocos, and Ares Island Area

According to a rough translation on the website, Sonic Frontiers' Ares Island consists of a desert with an oasis, along with ancient ruins lying around. With Sonic and his friends separated at the start of the game, he is tasked with rescuing them from this Cyberspace dimension. Much like how Amy can be found on the first island, Sonic's red rival Knuckles can be found on this second Island, only being freed once players have collected enough Memory Tokens. Reportedly, Knuckles' appearance in the upcoming animated short will explain how he ended up on Starfall Islands.
