My version of Sonic forces
0Stuff I couldn't fit into the video organically
Sure, let's imagine an alternate scenario where Sonic Mania's ending teases the inclusion of Sally Acorn in Sonic Forces instead of classic Sonic. Here's how the build-up and marketing could look, including how the Sonic Twitter account might tease this development:
Scenario Setup:
*Context:*
- Sonic Mania, a critical and commercial success, revitalizes the classic 2D Sonic gameplay.
- Instead of leading to the introduction of Classic Sonic in Sonic Forces, the ending of Sonic Mania teases the appearance of Sally Acorn, a beloved character from the Sonic the Hedgehog SatAM TV show and Archie Comics.
Teasing Sally Acorn in Sonic Forces:
*Ending of Sonic Mania:*
- The final scene of Sonic Mania shows a mysterious silhouette appearing after the defeat of the final boss.
- The silhouette has recognizable features of Sally Acorn (e.g., her hair, vest, and boots).
- A cryptic message appears: "The fight isn't over. A new ally is coming..."
Sonic Twitter Campaign:
*Month 1: Subtle Hints*
- *Tweet 1:* "Sometimes you need a team to win a fight. Who do you think would make the best new ally? 🦊🦔🦿"
- *Tweet 2:* Post a pixelated image of Sally Acorn with the caption: "Can you guess who this is? #MysteryCharacter"
- *Tweet 3:* Share a clip from the SatAM show featuring Sally Acorn in a leadership moment, captioned: "Leadership takes courage. Who remembers this classic moment? #TBT"
*Month 2: Building Suspense*
- *Tweet 4:* "The Resistance grows stronger. A familiar face is about to join the fight. Any guesses? 🦊👀"
- *Tweet 5:* Share concept art of a character that fans speculate might be Sally, but with parts of her obscured or redacted. Caption: "The Resistance gains a strategist. Can you see who it is?"
- *Tweet 6:* A cryptic dialogue tweet: "I know how to win this war, Sonic. But we'll need everyone on board. - ??? #SonicForces"
*Month 3: Confirmation and Hype*
- *Tweet 7:* "Incoming transmission... Can you decode this message? #Encrypted" (Share an image with encoded text that, when decoded, reads: "Sally Acorn is joining the Resistance.")
- *Tweet 8:* "The wait is over. Meet the new ally in Sonic Forces!" (A silhouette reveal with just enough detail to confirm it's Sally Acorn, but still partially obscured.)
- *Tweet 9:* Finally, a full reveal with a trailer featuring Sally Acorn in action, showcasing her abilities and her role in the game. Caption: "Welcome to the Resistance, Sally Acorn! Ready to lead the charge in #SonicForces?"
Bullet Points for Marketing Strategy:
1. *Subtle Teases:*
