"Not only for this title, but during the development phase, we have been steadily conducting analysis to improve the quality of the title before release, such as introducing game testing based on external evaluations, and I have a feeling that it will become a good game and have high expectations for it," SEGA said in a report. There have been many pundits and fans that have suggested that Sonic Frontiers is inspired by The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. ![]() Initially, Sonic Frontiers was planned for a 2021 release to coincide with the 30th anniversary of Sonic the Hedgehog, but developers decided to give it more time to percolate for quality assurance. From what little has been announced, it seems Sonic's iconic nemesis, Doctor Eggman, has lost control of ancient robotic technology, forcing the titular hero to save his friends and his world from the onslaught. Many fans quickly pointed out the similarities to Breath of the Wild, with Sonic's Starfall Islands' gorgeous scenery, robotic enemies and towering structures that give the open world a distinct aesthetic. or reach a new area, or, in the case of the deeply Breath of the Wild-like. SEGA has announced their next Sonic the Hedgehog game, titled Sonic Frontiers, with a new trailer. Eurogamer goes hands-on with a new Sonic Frontiers Zone at Gamescom 2022, and talks to Takashi Iikuza of Sonic Team. Sonic Frontiers is coming to PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, Nintendo Switch, and PC on November 8, 2022. While the trailer is only a minute and a half long, the footage gave fans the best peek yet at the next installment's epic environment. Sonic goes Breath of the Wild in his first 'open-zone' game. Sonic Frontiers has serious Breath of the Wild vibes. He did, however, mention that he likes Shadow a lot and that while he didn’t make the cut in the current cast, he still, “would like to bring him into more content in the future.” Hopefully, longtime fans can instead find solace in the many other series staples that will make an appearance in Frontiers, from Big the Cat to a host of returning zones.Sonic Frontiers premiered its cinematic announcement trailer at The Games Awards 2012. There is, he notes, at least some overlap in the sense that Frontiers does contain, “the same element of freedom that has been applied to Breath of the Wild,” but that at the end of the day the developers, “don’t really see a similarity between the games.”Īlso in the wide-ranging interview, Iizuka confirmed that Shadow would not, in fact, make an appearance in Frontiers, much to many fans’ chagrin. ![]() There was a time when open world games were my favourite genre. It took a while, but for me, the next generation of open world gaming is finally here. The main distinction he points out is in the difference between Zelda’s status as a role-playing game and Sonic’s as an action game. After Breath of the Wild and Elden Ring passed me by, Sonic Frontiers underlines how freeing modern open world games can be. In response to a question about any inspiration the Sonic team may have taken from Breath of the Wild, Iizuka stated that, while many members of the team, “love the Zelda series,” they also believe that Breath of the Wild is a fundamentally different game from Frontiers. However, in a recent interview by Shack News, Sonic Frontiers producer Takashi Iizuka pushed back on the narrative that the upcoming game would be the Sonic franchise’s take on Breath of the Wild. Breath of the Wild 2 s delay is especially. Plus, Breath of the Wild was a pretty popular game, and it garners a lot of comparisons. Nintendo just delayed Breath of the Wild s sequel into spring 2023, meaning Sonic Frontiers has lost a major competitor in the action-adventure space. When I fact I was confusing it for a puzzle in Sonic Frontiers. Both games feature massively popular mascot franchises being brought into new, open worlds, with branding that heavily features said mascots looking out over vast green landscapes. I was doing one of the shrine puzzles in TearsOfTheKingdom and I said that reminds me of a puzzle from Breath of the Wild. It’s no secret that Sonic Frontiers has been compared to The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, and in many ways this makes sense. ![]()
