Sonic Frontiers Gameplay Shows Open World, City Level
Sonic Frontiers aims to be the series' first foray into an open world, and due to that, many fans are trying to figure out what they can expect from it using gameplay footage seen in trailers. They're analyzing what they're given rather closely, which is helping them decide if they wish to buy it or not. Now, Gamescom has given players the clearest picture of the future of Sonic yet with some intriguing gameplay.
The most recent look at Sonic Frontiers that was shared online offers a great perspective of how the speedier segments feel. The footage shows Sonic running through Kronos Island, the first area of the game, while also showing off the Cyloop ability. It also showcases the city-themed Cyber Space level first seen in a Nintendo Direct back in June.
