Sega has been teasing something new for Sonic the Hedgehog for a while, beginning with a mysterious trailer released prior to E3 season. In more recent months, rumors emerged that the game would be called Sonic Frontiers and allow Sega’s blue hedgehog bounce around a large Breath-of-the-Wild-style open world, and now it seems that’s been confirmed. Just minutes ago at The Game Awards, Sega provided a first peek at Sonic Frontiers, which you can check out, below.

I’m not as harsh a critic of Sonic as some, so I’m willing to give Frontiers the benefit of the doubt, although I’ll definitely need to see some gameplay before I get too hyped.
