Sonic Team developed Sonic Frontiers, a 2022 platform game published by Sega. This game marks a significant shift for the Sonic franchise, introducing an open-world experience. Sonic explores the Starfall Islands, a mysterious archipelago, after he and his friends are separated by a wormhole.

Sonic Frontiers seamlessly blends classic Sonic gameplay elements like high-speed platforming, ring collection, and rail grinding with open-world exploration. Players navigate diverse biomes, solve puzzles, and defeat robotic enemies while uncovering the secrets of the Starfall Islands. The game also features “Cyber Space” levels, which offer a more traditional, linear Sonic experience within the open world.

Sonic Frontiers pushes the boundaries of the Sonic franchise with its innovative open-world design and engaging gameplay.
