Games Thirst – Amazing Life
There’s a new Sonic game in the works called ‘Sonic Excursions’, according to a known Sonic tipster who also said that the game would be released in November on current and next-gen consoles.
According to the tipster, who posted a lengthy description of a demonstration of the game that he was part of on the SegaBits forums, Sonic Excursion will also be released on “Xbox Infinite”, aligning with a recent rumor we posted here.
The tipster revealed these things:
This past weekend I was able to watch a couple of demonstrations on Sonic Team’s upcoming Sonic The Hedgehog game, currently titled “Sonic Excursion.” In all they had two levels to show off which all four of the playable characters the story will focus on were able to play through, but do not worry as they all play similarly to Sonic with minor differences, probably to keep up the pacing of the game as that’s been an issue with multiple characters in the past.
The demonstration started with the demo’s title screen which was accompanied with a song by Ted Poley about exploring together (no hidden innuendos, perverts). The title of the game itself isn’t set in stone, but the current one looked similar to Sonic Unleashed’s Japanese “Sonic World Adventure” logo. From the title screen, it goes directly to a black screen where you can select between Sonic or Tails using a ball made of falling sparkles, and we were informed that the game starts with both characters unlocked. Every level in the game will be playable with every character, and for almost every level you will be able to select which character you play as before it begins if the story has them currently in your “party.”
There’s also a 3DS version in the works, however another developer will be at the helm, not DIMPS, as “Sega has ended their relationship with them.”
