Update:Sega has confirmed that Sonic Frontiers will officially release globally on November 8th, 2022. A leaked trailer earlier in the day stated this specific date, however, it has now been made official. A new story trailer was also made public.

Check out the new trailer below:

Original Story:Sega appears to have accidentally leaked the release date ofSonic Frontiers, ahead of an appearance at Geoff Keighley’s Opening Night Live later today.

It seems that a new Japanese advert was published onYouTube(now made private once again) revealing that Sonic Frontiers will arrive on November 8th, 2022. This date is extremely unexpected as it’s one day before the launch ofGod of War: Ragnarok, arguably the biggest game of the year left to release.

Originally debuted at The Game Awards back in December 2021, Sonic Frontiers is the first 3D mainline Sonic game since 2017’s Sonic Forces. It looks to take inspiration fromBreath of the Wildwith an “open-zone” environment for Sonic to traverse freely. Early previews have been mixed with fans imploring Sega to delay the game, however, the company has repeatedly stated that it will launch in 2022.

Little is known about the story except that players will take on Sonic’s nemesis, Dr. Eggman, once again and it will be set in the Starfall Islands. The platform game will also see Sonic solving puzzles and battling robots across the open world.

November is already looking like a busy month for video games. Ubisoft’s Skull and Bones is set to launch on November 8th alongside Sonic Frontiers (if this leak is correct), beforeSony’sPlayStationexclusive God of War: Ragnarok releases on November 9th.Pokémon Scarlet and Violetwill then make their way to store shelves on November 18th.
