Segaโ€™s new Sonic Forces trailer shows off the custom hero feature

Weโ€™re still not sure what we think of Sonic Forces. On one hand, itโ€™s not a bad looking new Sonic the Hedgehog game and Sonic Team is totally involved. On the other hand, itโ€™s a 3D Sonic the Hedgehog game and thereโ€™s a little thing known as the โ€œSonic Cycleโ€.

Well, either way, Sega dropped off a new Sonic Forces trailer which shows off the character customization feature which actually looks like it could be a whole lot of fun. The custom hero feature gives players quite a few ways of personalizing their Sonic Forces character with various (weโ€™re sure unlockable) accessories such as headgear, footwear, body types (with special abilities) and whatnot. The new video also shows off some classic-style Sonic platforming and brand new gadgets.

Sonic Forces is in development for the PS4, Xbox One and Nintendo Switch and is scheduled for a โ€œwinterโ€ release.
