History WMG / SonicForces

* Unlikely. There is no apparent indication that ''Sonic Mania'' ever happened to Modern Sonic at all, suggesting that Sonic 4 ''probably'' still happened to him. Classic Sonic is claimed to come from a "[[YouKeepUsingThatWord different dimension]]", which suggests, in this case, an alternate timeline at the very least, where ''Sonic Mania'' occurred in ''Sonic 4''[='=]s place.

* Mostly the latter, since the devs aren't thinking of new {DLC}s to add into the game.

** Except [[spoiler:Infinite didn't willingly teleport away after Sonic and the Custom Hero beat him, Eggman forcefully teleported him to the tower, likely to have him [[DeadlyEuphemism decommissioned]]. Regardless of whether or not he's still alive, Infinite is still in Sonic's
dimension.]]

[[folder:Games after this (aka: sequels)]]

[[WMG: The Sequel will be a [[VideoGame/MarvelVsCapcom]]-esque Crossover with a Superhero franchise from an another Company]]

Modern Sonic and Classic Sonic will not be the only playable Sonics in the game. The game will crossover with other subseries such as ''WesternAnimation/SonicBoom'', ''WesternAnimation/SonicTheHedgehogSatAM'', the ComicBook/{{Archie Comics|SonicTheHedgehog}}, ''WesternAnimation/AdventuresOfSonicTheHedgehog'', ''ComicBook/SonicTheComic'', and many others.

[[WMG: Eggman's plan is similar to [[ComicBook/ArchieComicsSonicTheHedgehog the Super Genesis Wave]]]]

[[WMG: Shadow, Metal Sonic, Chaos 0, and Zavok were supposed to be characters from the past dragged to the future.]]

* Shadow would still be a CrusadingWidower. He was snatched in time before his pod made it to earth. Alternatively, he was sent to the future somewhere between the events of [[VideoGame/SonicAdventure2 Sonic Adventure 2]] where he wasn't in the middle of doing something major.
* Metal Sonic was sent to the future (or whenever, since it was during [[VideoGame/SonicCD Sonic CD]]) some time before he fought Sonic on Stardust Speedway.
* Chaos is still [[WobbieDestroyerOfWorlds corrupted by sorrow]] and was snatched in time some time after his very first battle with Sonic at Station Square.

* In the very end, however, everyone is returned to their respective timeline without corrupting time in any way.

* [[DarkAndTroubledPast Knowing the amount of load on Shadow's back,]] [[TramaButton Infinite has lots of ammo to fire,]] especially with the Phantom Ruby.

[[WMG: Shadow the Hedgehog is a ReverseMole]]

* [[spoiler:Mostly jossed; he is indeed working for the Resistance, but he's no ReverseMole or anything. The Shadow working for Eggman is a Phantom Ruby-induced illusion.]]

Modern Sonic and Classic Sonic will not be the only playable Sonics in the game. The game will crossover with other subseries such as ''WesternAnimation/SonicBoom'', ''WesternAnimation/SonicTheHedgehogSatAM'', the [[ComicBook/ArchieComicsSonicTheHedgehog Archie Comics]], ''WesternAnimation/AdventuresOfSonicTheHedgehog'', ''ComicBook/SonicTheComic'', and many others.

[[WMG: The BigBad will be [[WesternAnimation/SonicTheHedgehog SatAM Robotnik]].]]

* Such as the [[VideoGame/SonicHeroes Egg Emperor]] or the [[VideoGame/SonicColours Egg Nega Wisp]]. Since Eggman has conquered the world, it would be nice to see Eggman's other machines as bosses in the game.

* [[spoiler:Classic Sonic is the one who fades away, though he most likely is returning back to his own dimension.]]

* [[spoiler:Turns out the only person who gets "killed" is ''Classic Sonic'', who disappears at the very end of the game (though is actually returned to his own dimension).]]

* [[spoiler:Jossed. He wasn't really a Pokémon to begin with.]]

* [[spoiler:It is actually the Phantom Ruby's doing.]]

** Likely confirmed. [[spoiler:The four characters are really VR holograms Infinite created using the Phantom Ruby.]]

** [[spoiler:Confirmed. That thing on his chest? It is definitely the Phantom Ruby itself.]]

* i should have been more specific. i was implying that Infinite was using the phantom ruby to reach a super form since early sources said the phantom ruby was equal in power to the emeralds.

* Jossed. [[spoiler:The mask has no effect on the user, and the Phantom Ruby ''is'' the controller.]]

Chaos is a lot smarter than anyone seems to give him credit for. He managed to deceive Eggman all thru ''VideoGame/SonicAdventure'' until he found all seven emeralds. So he would be perfect as a spy. After all he's basically a god of destruction, a big hulking brute. And with his connections with Tikal whom he could be using to pass along info to Knuckles would be the perfect spy with Eggman being the only one to suspect him only to get shot down by the others who underestimate him. (Shadow is too cocksure in his power, Zavok thinks Chaos is a brute, Metal is just there, and Infinite would be more interested in his own agenda or already aware and letting it happen for his own personal endgame.)

* [[spoiler:Jossed. Knuckles is the Resistance leader (unless if you're referring to the Eggman Empire... then it's Dr. Eggman), and both Cubot and Infinite are separate entities.]]

* Further Jossed. [[spoiler:Zavok is fought a quarter through the game as the first boss, Infinite is fought thrice (the third time being the penultimate boss), and Eggman is still the FinalBoss. Meanwhile, Shadow and Chaos are not faced in-game.]]

* [[spoiler:Jossed; he's still the real Eggman.]]

** [[spoiler:Only Infinite is fought more than once, but Eggman does fight a few times, just never in the same robot.]]

** Jossed. Not ''every single'' Wisp will have Wispons. The only ones who do get Wispon versions are the Red (Burst), Ivory (Lightning), Blue (Cube), Yellow (Drill), Green (Hover), Indigo (Asteroid), and Violet (Void) Wisps. What seem to be Cyan (Laser) Wispons can be seen being used by background resistance soldiers, but the Custom Hero doesn't get to use one of either. The Variable Wispon from the [=IDW=] comics might be the White Wispon, though it might actually be based on the Wisp Capsules.

* Jossed. Infinite scared the younger Avatar during the time when Modern Sonic was defeated away, instead.

*** Semi-confirmed; Silver (as well as the others) will communicate with the 3 heroes via radio, as shown in a small livestream demo for the game.

[[WMG: [[ComicBook/SonicAdventures Princess Alucion]] will appear.]]

** [[spoiler:Jossed. It turns out to be the exact opposite; ''Classic Sonic'' is the one who fades away, while Modern Sonic and his friends are still alive.]]

Such as a Jade Ghost [[KatanasAreJustBetter Katana]] that can apply invisibility and intangibility to it's users, a Purple Frenzy [[ChainsawGood Chainsaw]] that is capable of sucking enemies in, and a Crimson Eagle [[AutomaticCrossbows Crossbow-Sniper Rifle hybrid]] that can double as a hang glider.

Modern Sonic and Classic Sonic will not be the only playable Sonics in the game. The game will crossover with other subseries such as ''WesternAnimation/SonicBoom'', ''WesternAnimation/SonicSatAM'', the [[ComicBook/ArchieComicsSonicTheHedgehog Archie Comics]], ''WesternAnimation/AdventuresOfSonicTheHedgehog'', ''ComicBook/SonicTheComic'', and many others.

I doubt the more goofy and childish Eggman of today would be able to cause the apocalypse shown in the teaser, and the Eggman of the classic era is also just as much of a silly {{Manchild}}. But what if the darker incarnations of Eggman like the ''WesternAnimation/SonicSatAM'' incarnation, or the Sonic Adventure-era Eggman influenced modern!Eggman or classic!Eggman to do such a thing? And it would be cool seeing Sonic interact with incarnations like Boom, and the incarnation in the first 90s cartoon.

[[WMG: It's a game adaptation of ''WesternAnimation/SonicSatAM''.]]
It seems to be the type of DarkerAndEdgier to the rest of the series as ''WesternAnimation/SonicSatAM'' is to the games at the time. On top of that, Classic Sonic is there despite it not being a ''Generations'' sequel. As for how regular Sonic got there, maybe he got sucked into a tear in the time-space continuum and stumbled into an AlternateUniverse. As for the differences, it'll take a more BroadStrokes-y approach to adaptation.

He has traveled across the Sonic multiverse, enslaving the [[WesternAnimation/AdventuresOfSonicTheHedgehog AoSth]], [[WesternAnimation/SonicSatAM SatAM]], [[WesternAnimation/SonicUnderground Underground]], Anime/SonicX, [[Anime/SonictheHedgehogTheMovie OVA]], Fleetway, and early manga universes and defeating their respective Sonics. He planned on targeting the main universe before Eggman found a way to tame him and get him on his side.

[[WMG:Infinite has something to do with the red eyes seen at the very end of ''WesternAnimation/SonicSatAM''.]]

A weird HiveMind, which would take the form of a horrible combination of [[TheScrappy Chris Thorndyke, Big The Cat, the Boom versions]], and a horribly made [[OriginalCharacter OC]], is trying to warp Sonic's world to its own liking for kicks, and starts by brainwashing Eggman and his mechs. Some of its changes would be hilarious ([[GenderBender turning Tails into a girl]], making Eggman repeat his Meme-level lines from Sonic Adventures 1 and 2, Knuckles going "OH NO" and singing horrible raps, [[MostAnnoyingSound Silver screaming "IT'S NO USE!"]]), while others would be bad (Shadow being "[[HoYay interested]]" in Sonic, [[{{Flanderization}} Knuckles being]] [[TooDumbToLive dumb as bricks]], faking long loading screens, and more). \\

That would explain why Eggman is out of the void (the Classic one found the way out,but the Modern one didn't) and why we never see the real Metal Sonic (including ''Sonic Forces).'' The reason "Eggman" acts like he usually does is that Metal succeeded to fit into his role so much that even he now thinks [[FridgeHorror he "is" Eggman]].

The Gamecrate [[https://www.gamecrate.com/interview-takashi-iizuka-and-shun-nakamura-state-sonic-2017/16493 interview]] with Takashi Iizuka and Shun Nakamura claims that Modern Sonic, Classic Sonic, and the Avatar will have 3 seperate stories. What if by completing all stories, you'll unlock the [[OmegaEnding Last story]] and see how the main plot boils down in the end?
