When received well. Forces, for better or worse, now has a launch date: November 7.
From the team behind Sonic Generations (note the appearance of both cool, retro Sonic and new, less cool Sonic), Forces has players pinballing around rollercoaster-like levels, gathering rings, blowing up robots, and darting down ziplines.
Some of that was shown off in this trailer back in July:
Players can also get to grips with their own "Custom Hero Character" that can be equipped with in-game outfits, accessories, and "powerful new gadgets", so says Sega.
I'm not fond of preorders, but if you are here's what Forces' Bonus Edition is all about:
"Sega announced today that Sonic Forces will launch on November 7 and that fans can now pre-order the physical-only, Bonus Edition. Available for a limited time only, the Bonus Edition will contain four Sonic Forces art cards and the Sega/Atlus pack add-on, which offers 13 more in-game outfit items and accessories to recreate the look of five other Sega/Atlus icons for your Hero Character. Those who pre-order the Bonus Edition from retailers participating in the pre-order scheme will also receive the Shadow Costume for their Hero Character."
Sonic Forces is due November 7, 2017.
