Sega and Sonic Team have unveiled the official opening scene for the upcoming 2D platformer Sonic Superstars, featuring the cast and antagonists the familiar characters will face.
Sonic Superstars is a brand new 2D adventure featuring Sonic, Tails, Knuckles and Amy set in the North Star Islands. Among the new gameplay features are emerald abilities when obtaining Chaos Emeralds, such as the ability to create clones or climb waterfalls.
In addition, the visual design has been noticeably improved, and the sniper Fang from old Sonic the Hedgehog comics and video games, such as Sonic the Hedgehog Triple Trouble, will appear as an antagonist in Sonic Superstars.
Classic Sonic the Hedgehog designer Naoto Oshima is back with a new villain. Fans can also expect “movements, physics and controls to be familiar and appealing to new and old fans alike.” In addition, four-player local co-op will be available throughout the story.
