Sonic Frontiers Sonic Frontiers To Be Publicly Playable at UK Games Expo EGX

[Dreadknux]

Fancy getting your hands on Sonic Frontiers before the game is out this Winter? Well if you live in the UK (that's us!), you're in luck, as there will be public playtests of the upcoming Open-Zone platformer at the EGX game show in September 2022.

This will mark the first time that Sonic Frontiers will be available to the public, let alone the UK; previously, SEGA only allowed the select media attending Summer Games Fest 2022 in June to demo a segment of the game. It will probably be the same vertical slice of gameplay; a mostly open-zone experience, with a cyberspace 'linear'/'traditional' Sonic stage thrown in to the mix.

It looks like some brand new key art was also shared online as part of the announcement. You can see it in full below.

Here's a quote from SEGA and ReedPop (who organise EGX in the UK):
