Similar to the previous main series title, Sonic Generations, players can play as two variations of Sonic the Hedgehog; Modern Sonic and Classic Sonic. Modern Sonic plays through three-dimensional stages and can use abilities such as boosting and homing attacks, while Classic Sonic's gameplay features 2D side-scrolling stages reminiscent of the Sega Genesis-era of games. In addition to the two Sonics, Sonic Forces introduces a third character, the Custom Hero, which players can create themselves and customise with unlockable clothing items. This hero is able to use a grappling hook and can be equipped with various gadgets known as Wispons, ranging from flamethrowers to blasters that launch the player in the air. The hero can also possess additional bonuses depending on the type of animal chosen. Wisps also make a return from their original appearance in Sonic Colors.
Story
Through unknown circumstances, Doctor Eggman has managed to conquer 99% of the world. Joined by his past self once again, Sonic the Hedgehog joins a resistance that aims to put a stop to Eggman's reign.
Developmen.
Sonic Forces is being developed by Sonic Team, the same team that had previously developed Sonic Colors and Sonic Generations, with development headed by longtime Sonic series producer Takashi Iizuka. Development on the title began in 2013, shortly after the completion of Sonic Lost World. Sonic Forces will run on the "Hedgehog Engine 2", a refined version of the game engine used in Sonic Unleashed and Sonic Generations. The game's soundtrack is being composed by series sound director, Tomoya Ohtani.
The game was announced under the codename "Project Sonic 2017" alongside Sonic Mania during a Sonic 25th Anniversary event held by Sega at San Diego Comic-Con on July 22, 2016. The presence of both Classic and Modern Sonic in the initial teaser trailer led some journalists to believe it was a sequel to Sonic Generations, but Iizuka later clarified that it was a separate title and not a sequel. The game is scheduled for release on Microsoft Windows, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One in late 2017.
Reception
The International Business Times praised Sega's approach of announcing and releasing the duo of Sonic Forces and Sonic Mania in the same year, stating that catering to the new fans with Forces while catering to the old-school fans with Mania could help repair the series's poor reputation with more recent releases, and in turn lead to a "Sonic renaissance".
