Sonic Frontiers: Everything We Know About Sage So Far

gamerant.com:

It goes without saying that Sonic The Hedgehog is one of the most recognizable faces in the gaming industry. It's also fair to say though, that due to the fluctuating quality of titles with his name attached to them over the years, new Sonic games don't quite generate the same level of buzz as they used to. But something about Sonic Frontiers feels different. Moving Sonic away from traditional platforming and into a partial open-world environment seems like a gamble, but a fascinating one, and many fans are eager to see how he makes the transition.

With the release of Sonic Frontiers now only a couple of months away, many details about the game have been made public. This includes an idea of the scope of the world, as well as some environments and bosses, and also a glimpse at some of the characters who'll feature, both old and new. One of the most fascinating new characters showcased so far is Sage, a mysterious girl with piercing red eyes, who resides on Starfall Islands and seems to wield several unknown powers. Her name is also an anagram of Sega, and while this may be a total coincidence, it could be a clever little Easter egg from Sonic Team.

The Starfall Islands are set to be full of mystery and adventure. Developer Sonic Team has already showcased several elements of the open-world gameplay including Sonic Frontiers' city and desert levels. Trailers have shown how Sonic winds up on Starfall Islands and searches for his friends, Tails and Amy, whom he got separated from. During one of these trailers, Sonic comes face to face with Sage, who appears to be levitating. She repeatedly warns Sonic that he must leave the Islands immediately,
