History VideoGame / SonicForces

[[caption-width-right:350:Join the resistance.]]

While it was initially said to not be a sequel to ''VideoGame/SonicGenerations'', it does take one concept from the earlier anniversary title - the return of Classic Sonic, joining his modern counterpart to counter a threat larger than anything they've faced before. Fittingly, the gameplay is divided into 3 distinct styles, two of which involve the two Sonics; Modern Sonic's gameplay is largely similar to the daytime sections from ''VideoGame/SonicUnleashed'', as well as ''[[VideoGame/SonicColors Colors]]'' and ''Generations''' gameplay. Not only that, but the game's tone has been heavily implied to be DarkerAndEdgier than recent titles in the franchise (leaning closer to ''WesternAnimation/SonicSatAM'' or [[ComicBook/ArchieComicsSonicTheHedgehog the Archie comics]]). A new character has also been confirmed to appear in the game, and Wisps (from ''Colors'' and ''[[VideoGame/SonicLostWorld Lost World]]'') return once again.

The teaser trailer (debuted at an event in late July 2016) can be found [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gCh9--2xcKk here]].

* ApocalypseWow: One of the earliest levels involves racing through the streets and beating up Badniks as usual... Except set to the ''very'' conspicuous falling rubble tearing everything apart while Death Egg Robots destroy the city in the background. And it looks ''awesome.''

* HumongousMecha: Three giant [[VideoGame/SonicGenerations Death Egg Robots]] are seen destroying a city. Unlike the model from ''Sonic Generations'', these robots have a single eye that shoots lasers and tower over the city.

** On the other hand, Eggman seems to have taken one as well, seeing as he's finally ''conquered the world'' and all. ([[SonicSatAM In]] [[ArchieComicsSonicTheHedgehog this]] [[SonicTheComic continuity]] [[SonicUnderground anyway.]])

The gameplay is said to be entirely different from that of ''VideoGame/SonicColors'' and ''VideoGame/SonicGenerations'' - indeed, when the game was first revealed it was said to be "not a sequel, but an entirely new experience". However, it does take one concept from the latter game (which was also an anniversary title) - the return of Classic Sonic, joining his modern counterpart to counter a threat larger than anything they've faced before. Not only that, but the game's tone has been heavily implied to be DarkerAndEdgier than recent titles in the franchise (leaning closer to ''WesternAnimation/SonicSatAM'' or [[ComicBook/ArchieComicsSonicTheHedgehog the Archie comics]]).

* LaResistance: Implied to have cropped up after Eggman took over.

** When Classic Sonic appears in the trailer, he strikes a pose that matches [[http://i.imgur.com/LSE5BYP.jpg artwork found in the]] History of Sonic the Hedgehog book.
** The overall theme of the trailer has given many people WesternAnimation/SonicSatAM vibes.

* ThreePointLanding: Sonic does one at the beginning of the trailer.
