Sonic Forces is playable at E3, so naturally it's on our list of things to do in LA. More footage has been emerging of the demo, though, which features plenty of chatty Sonic buddies and a blend of 'modern' and 'classic' Sonic gameplay.
There's a new trailer to showcase the game, too, replicating some of the demo stages and ending with a reveal of the notable bosses - check that and some PR details out below.
Today, SEGA® revealed Sonic Force’s exciting new key art along with the latest trailer. The trailer features an all-star cast of Sonic villains and introduces a brand-new powerful, mysterious enemy, Infinite. Infinite joins Eggman’s evil group of henchmen in Sonic Forces which includes Chaos, Metal Sonic, Shadow and Zavok who have already taken over the world and are ready to create next-level panic and disorder.

While more about Infinite will be revealed in the future, other villains making an appearance in today’s trailer include:
- Doctor Ivo "Eggman" Robotnik: The original Mad Genius Doctor, and Sonic’s nemesis. After countless failed attempts, his plan to take over the world seems to finally be succeeding.
- Chaos: An ancient power thought to have been quelled after the events of Sonic Adventure. His return is a mystery.
- Shadow: Once called “The Ultimate Life Form,” Shadow fights for his own reasons. He appeared in Sonic Adventure 2.
- Metal Sonic: One of the evil doctor’s most powerful creations, Metal Sonic first appeared in Sonic CD, and has returned at a few key moments since.
- Zavok: The leader of a group known as The Zeti, Zavok is a powerful warrior who was first seen in Sonic Lost World.
Are the Sonic fans among you optimistic about this one?

I'm from the future.
It sucks get Mania instead...
A customizable character?
Where have i seen this before...
Dunno about ya'll, but Forces is lookin' pretty rad.
Okay. Mario, Metroid, Kirby, Fire Emblem and NOW Sonic. I can't...
SEGA: "Time for another Sonic game! Let's throw 3 darts at the board to see what the enemies/setting/theme will be."
New intern: "Wait! The fans don't want that again!" throws 100 darts at once
SEGA: GASP
Looking good, as long as it's not another Sonic 2006 I'm in.
Honestly, I see no reason to be pessimistic about Forces, it has a dark theme, nice slogan, join the uprising... The only thing I don't like is custom characters but that is not a deal breaker.
Man I have not played Sonic since the original Sonic the Hedgehog. I will not lie, people raging about Sonic on the internet has made me look the other way for many years but you know what, I think I will give this a shot and hope they do not disappoint.

Can't wait!
I am optimistic but would love to see some gameplay footage soon.
This trailer was much better. Interesting to see Deadly Six are back
Looks good so far. Customization, a better engine, its shaping up to be a great game!
is that North Korean Sonic
Ok Shadow, Chaos and Metal Sonic? Now I'm in. Please don't mess this up, Sega.
Looking at the artwork, I'm kind of wondering why classic Sonic is even in this game. He seems out-of-place and invites comparisons to Sonic Mania. It doesn't really feel like a Sonic Generations sequel, so what's the point? I don't mind him, I just hope the devs just don't spread themselves too thin.
Anyway, I'm probably playing this just for the character creation...
HYPE! XD
Seriously cannot wait for this game! Love all the gameplay I've seen; hopefully we'll get a release date soon!
@Monata
maybe because none of that has anything to do with a game being good?
@NinjaWaddleDee
just give us a new classic mega man game and castlevania game and the oldschool bananza will be perfect
MIND=BLOWN
I'd much rather get Mania than this...
The trailer looks good.
Sonic mania looks more exciting but i hope this comes in 2017. Great e3
Here's hoping.
Calling it, the mask badguy is a evil Clone of your custom character, or related to them in some way
A 3D Sonic game, 60 fps? What?
DAT ARTWORK THO
So Tron Legacy!
It looks very good ! We might get 2 good sonic games in one year, we are all Doomed.
@DarthNocturnal Did he come back from the future to kill Amy and become a God? (kudos if you get the reference).
Looking good! Really appreciating how they're actually using the already sizable cast of characters now.
No one likes Sonic games on 3DS because none of them are 60 fps. A game emphasising speed won't work if its below 60fps, its the same with any racing games. I hope Sega learnt their lesson. A trash port is a waste of time, why bothered?
No. I'm not falling for the Sonic trap again. I've fallen for this too many times over the last decade. I'm getting mania because it's not being made by Sonic team.
Looks nice. Could be fun, if it isn't a crash-fest like Lost worlds!
I'm still skeptical but it does look good...
I like the look of this game, but I love the music for sure. Getting both this and Sonic Mania. Hoping Sega learned their lessons.
Not a huge Sonic fan - not played one from start to finish since the Game Gear - but that trailer is flipping cool.
@JayPley I'm hyped for Sonic Forces too, just hoping the Switch version will be as great as the PS4 one.
@wazlon I heard from GameXplain that the Switch version currently only runs at 30fps, vs the PS4 version which is 60fps.
But the downgrade doesn't bother me, since it's Sonic and I'll take what I can get on the Switch.
@JayPley I'll go with the Switch version as I've decided to get a Switch instead of a PS4, all thanks to Nintendo at E3
