SEGA have gone big with Sonic in the last few years with the likes of Sonic Colors: Ultimate and Sonic Origins. But perhaps none have been as anticipated as a new spin on the classic action. That’s what we’ll be getting with Sonic Superstars.
SEGA have today revealed Sonic Superstars, Sonic the Hedgehog’s latest adventure bringing a new standard of play to classic high-speed 2D Sonic platforming.
In Sonic Superstars, Sonic and his friends’ journey starts on the beautiful North Star Islands, a mystical place offering never-before-seen environments, as well as a mysterious story waiting to unfold.
Enormous creatures, exhilarating adventures, and evil plans from Dr. Eggman await Sonic and his friends, who can now obtain brand-new abilities known as the Emerald Powers when Chaos Emeralds are collected.
Sonic Superstars is set to release digitally and physically in fall 2023, on PlayStation5, PlayStation4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC. Expect to pay £54.99. Additional details regarding packages and future content will be revealed at a later date.
You’ll want to get involved too, as you harness the Emerald Powers to take on Dr. Eggman in dynamic new ways and stop him from converting the island’s animals into Badniks before it’s too late!
