The hashtag #DelaySonicFrontiers has been trending following the game’s first gameplay reveal.
First unveiled at the end of last year, fans have been desperate to see gameplay of Sonic Frontiers ever since. Two videos have now been released exclusively to IGN, showcasing the game’s open world design and its combat.
But so far fans are unhappy with the direction of the game and – just as with Sonic’s redesign for the film series – are calling for a delay.

The first video shows off traversal and the open world, with Sonic speeding across a verdant island, climbing monoliths, and solving puzzles. The second video is focused on combat as Sonic spin jumps and kicks robotic enemies in flashy animations.
