Jon Peltz: Last News

Sonic Frontiers have been detailed, and they offer more traditional linear levels amid the upcoming game’s open world.These new levels were shown off during yesterday’s (June 28) Nintendo Direct Mini: Partner Showcase, which focused on third-party titles coming to Nintendo Switch over the next year or so.You can check out the Cyber Space levels in the embedded video below.Set for release this winter, the new footage of Sonic Frontiers explains how players will need to grab keys to progress through these Cyber Space zones, which look like a combination of classic fan-favourite levels and more linear challenges in the new games “open-zone” world.Players will find these areas by exploring the different Starfall Islands and collecting Portal Gears, which allow Sonic to enter the Cyber Space zones across the map.In the NME preview of the upcoming game, Jon Peltz said: “I left the demo wanting to play more and see what the world and story have on offer. The concept and ambition are there — time will tell if the mechanics receive enough polish to make this a must-play in the franchise.”It also looks like Sonic Frontiers will embody the new direction of the franchise, as executive Takahashi Iiuzuka said: “Sonic Frontiers is that next step for the next ten years.

Sonic Team head Takashi Iizuka has said he already knows what the next game in the franchise will be after Sonic Frontiers. With the new “open-zone” take on the franchise still set for an unknown release later this year, Iizuka has confirmed that he knows what the next game is for the blue blur (via Game Informer).When asked “Do you already know what the next Sonic game is going to be?” Iizuka replied with a simple “Yes.”He was then asked how many games he knows about going forward that he can’t discuss, which Iizuka naturally said he also can’t discuss.This might not seem like that much of a surprise, as Iizuka said that Sonic Frontiers will be the next step for the next ten years, although he didn’t exactly give away what that means.“We really wanted to think about where we need to take Sonic for the next ten years,” explained Iiuzuka. “What kind of gameplay do we need to start building out to keep people excited for the future?“Sonic Frontiers is that next step for the next ten years.

Some of these games have already been announced, but there’s no mention of release dates in the image. Unless specified otherwise, all of the games are coming to the cloud, console and PC.
