Sonic Frontiers or the first steps of the hedgehog in an open world?

The name was recently registered Sonic Frontiers in Japan. Coupled with rumors that the next Sonic Team title will take place in an open world, this information tends to want the blue hedgehog to take the same path as a certain Link.

At the end of October, the publisher SEGA registered the name “Sonic Frontiers”, which thus appears in the listing of the Japanese trademark protection organization. It also seems that the singular equivalent “Sonic Frontier” has also been secured. There wouldn’t be much more to add here, except that it was previously mentioned that the next Sonic would be named “Sonic Rangers”.

Only, there in mid-October and a few days before these deposits intervene, it had been reported on reddit that the title attributed so far to the next Sonic had been changed from “Sonic Rangers” to “Sonic Frontiers”.

Goodbye “Sonic Rangers”, welcome “Sonic Frontiers”?

Given that it is now more or less confirmed that SEGA will release a Sonic Frontiers, we can take a more serious look at what he was saying in the apparent leak mentioned above. We were thus provided with an open-world game with elements that would remind us The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild.

It would be a first for the series, after a Sonic Adventure (Dremcast) which already offered the blue hedgehog the opportunity to explore a universe in 3D. And this even if a mode of Sonic Jam (Saturn) was somewhat ahead of him on this point, certainly on a smaller scale.

We can remember that last June, Takashi Iizuka, head of the Sonic Team, had loudly expressed the wish that the next Sonic would be a yardstick in the same way as Sonic Adventure at his time.

“Sonic Adventure laid the groundwork for 20 years of Sonic titles after release, so in the same way, I really hope that this new title coming out in 2022 will lay the groundwork for subsequent future Sonic titles – that’s the idea. behind the challenge for the team ”.

It should be a question of a game available on both PlayStation 4 and 5, Xbox One and Series S / X, Switch and PC.
