Today was a busy day for Sonic the Hedgehog fans. Sonic Superstars was officially revealed in June and, although news on the game has quieted down in the past few weeks, things have suddenly picked up again with a bunch of new information that has been shared by Game Informer.
It was confirmed that the game will have a world map “reminiscent of Sonic Generations’ hub where you are running around a 2D plane and selecting your zone”. This world map will also have an in-game shop where you can spend the gold medals you collect in the game to purchase cosmetic parts for your characters. They include parts for the head, body, arms and feet, but patterns, colors and accessories are also mentioned.
There is even something called “prototype”, but Game Informer says that this is all they were able to learn about this feature. Not only are they not entirely sure how it will work, but whenever they asked Takashi Iizuka about the feature, he would “play coy” about it. Nevertheless, Sonic Superstars will be releasing on multiple platforms, including the Nintendo Switch, this fall.
