A now removed video appears to have confirmed the release date for this year’s Sonic Frontiers from Sega.
According to the last screen of a now delisted Japanese trailer for the “open-zone” take on Sonic The Hedgehog, the game is set to release on November 8. That’s one day before God Of War: Ragnarok and just over a week before Pokémon Scarlet and Violet.
Sonic Frontiers is set to get news at Gamescom Opening Night Live tonight (August 23) – you can find out more about that here – which host Geoff Keighley has called a “world premiere.”

It’s perfectly possible that this trailer with the November 8 release date was supposed to go live in conjunction with the Gamescom reveal, with any copies of it across the internet now being removed ahead of tonight’s show.
Developer Sonic Team revealed back in June that Sonic Frontiers is the start of a new era for the franchise, with creative officer Takahashi Iiuzuka saying: “We really wanted to think about where we need to take Sonic for the next ten years. What kind of gameplay do we need to start building out to keep people excited for the future?
