Having a presence during Gamescom’s Opening Night Light, SEGA debuted a new trailer for the newest game based on their company’s mascot character – Sonic the Hedgehog. It was confirmed that Sonic Superstars will be launching on 17 October 2023 on the PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S and Nintendo Switch gaming platforms. Here in Australia, the title will be priced at $99.99 AUD, although this price will vary from region to region, and perhaps store to store.
In addition to the release date announcement, a new trailer was shared. This video sets out to provide a fresh look at Sonic’s newest adventure, particularly the local co-op and Battle Modes, which will allow you to play the entire game with up to three other players drop-in-drop-out style, or against seven other players online or three other players locally in the new Battle Mode.
In Sonic Superstars, players will adventure through the mystical Northstar Islands classic-Sonic style. Play as Sonic, Tails, Knuckles and Amy Rose and harness all-new Emerald Powers to move and attack in dynamic new ways. Navigate gorgeous, never-before-seen environments solo or with up to three other players and stop Dr. Eggman, Fang and a mysterious new adversary from converting the islands’ giant animals into Badniks before it’s too late!
