Last years Sonic Boom for the Wii U and 3DS could easily be considered a failure for both platforms, the games offered several glitches and from memory were not much fun to play, but that has stopped Sega announcing a new entry in the Sonic Boom series for the 3DS. Sega has announced the latest game of Sonic Boom Fire & Ice, a game I honestly didn’t see coming, you can look below for the official overview of the game:
Sonic Boom: Fire & Ice, featuring the triumphant return of Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, Amy and Sticks, will be available exclusively on Nintendo 3DS later this year.
Developed by Sanzaru Games Inc., Sonic Boom: Fire & Ice is a single player game with collaborative gameplay components that shares key characters, events, and lore of the Sonic Boom universe. Players will see Sonic and his friends in familiar settings as they embark on a brand new adventure to battle Dr. Eggman as well as an all-new super villain, D-Fekt. The team’s adventures will bring them to locations both familiar and new as they explore, race and protect their world.
To create an entirely new experience, Sonic Boom: Fire & Ice will infuse fire and ice elements throughout gameplay, enabling new abilities to play out in special character moves and interactions with environments. The new title also delivers gameplay that enables players to run through the game at top speed, or take their time with deeper exploration and puzzle play.
New to the title is the introduction of Bot Racing, a supplemental game tied to the single player story with multiplayer gameplay. The new Bot Racing feature is an extension of Sonic Boom: Fire & Ice that is purely about racing and speed, where a user will unlock character themed Bots to challenge friends on fast courses or tracks.
Sonic Boom Fire & Ice will arrive in North America during this holiday season, meanwhile Nintendo will be handling publishing in Europe where the game is expected for release sometime this winter. Sonic Boom Fire & Ice is only coming to 3DS
A first look at the game was also shown with the announcement trailer which you can watch below:
I still seriously hate the character redesigns.
