Sonic Frontiers' Prologue Will Shed More Light On The Game's Story This Week

thegamer.com:

Sonic Frontiers' launch is now only three weeks away, and despite some of Sega's hedgehog-based misgivings in the past, hype for the new game is pretty high. What remains unclear is how exactly Frontiers' story will unfold. That might become a little clearer this week as the first part of the new game's prologue comic will be available online.

Just to be clear, this is not the animated prologue Sega teased earlier this year. While that is still coming, presumably prior to Frontiers' arrival on November 8, this week's prologue takes the form of a comic. The teaser revealing the comic will be available for Sonic fans to peruse on Tuesday shows Sonic, Tails, and Amy being pursued by Dr. Robotnik.

The three heroes appear to be fleeing Robotnik on the red and white plane players of Sonic 2 the game, and viewers of Sonic 2 the movie, will be familiar with. Interesting enough already, even without the story attached, considering the roles some of those characters have to play in Frontiers. Amy has been shown once, imprisoned in one of the most recent trailers as a confused Sonic slowly approaches her.

Tails hasn't been shown in trailers at all and his role in Frontiers remains a mystery. The same applies to Robotnik. While his inclusion in the next blue blur game has been confirmed, Ian Flynn revealed the iconic villain's story will be taken in an interesting direction. Perhaps he is pursuing the heroic trio above the Starfall Islands in the image above, and he is tasked with teaming up with Sonic in Frontiers to help rescue Amy and escape an even scarier foe.

Now officially unveiled by Sega after leaking a little early, a new trailer
