SEGA has announced Sonic Boom, a fresh branch of the Sonic universe that includes a video game, toys and a new CG animated television series.
Sonic Boom will introduce redesigned versions of the popular hedgehog and his companions. To get your first glimpse at their new looks, check out the debut trailer for the Sonic Boom video game below, coming exclusively to Wii U and 3DS.
Starring Sonic, Tails, Knuckles and Amy Rose, the Sonic Boom game will serve as a prequel to the TV series and will focus on collaborative gameplay. The third title in the exclusive Nintendo-Sega partnership following Sonic: Lost World and Mario & Sonic at the Sochi 2014 Olympic Winter Games, it'll feature all the speed you'd expect from a Sonic game, alongside elements of exploration, combat and "a new Enerbeam tether mechanic".
I don't understand why it has been so hard to do Sonic justice the past decade?
They've always given him broken gameplay, buggy controls, and flop new characters. Don't mess with the formula until you can get the formula itself right.
Wow....after games like Colors and Lost World this seems....refreshing. The gameplay looks exciting but as SEGA has taught me in the past few years, I'd better not get my hopes up too high
Watch you all start stanning once the TV show and game do well. It's bound to happen. TV is the best promo. It doesn't even look that bad sans Knuckles.
