Sonic Team has released a short video for Sonic Frontiers ahead of the E3 Summer Games Fest next week.

There is a vocal subset of the gaming community that hates when a game is calledBreath of the Wild and the gaming press calls it X. It looks like Breath of the Wild and Horizon Zero Dawn had a baby with Sonic. Please don't tell me that I have a baby with Sonic.

Sonic runs across a landscape filled with flowers and ruins. Sonic is roaming in a boundary-less world in several games, but the aesthetic of the previous Sonic games is different. It looks more realistic than Sonic Adventure. The Blue Blur appears to be less constrained by the forced 3D and 2D perspectives of earlier games. It looks like he gets to run in a truly open world, collecting rings, rail grinding, and taking down monstrous robots reminiscent of the mechanical beasts in the Horizon franchise.

Summer Games Fest will show Sonic Frontiers next week.
