Sonic Forces: null;

Sonic Forces: null; is an upcoming 3D action-platformer video game in development by Storm Eagle, to be published by Sega. It is effectively a reboot of the 2017 game Sonic Forces, and is slated for release in April 2023 for Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and Nintendo Switch.
== Premise ==
Dr. Robotnik finds a reality-bending gem outside one of his bases. Upon learning that it can give him truly unlimited power, he plans to incorporate the ruby into his latest attempt to take over the world and create his ultimate empire. The fat doctor's growing lust for total authority ends up causing far more harm than anyone could have anticipated, and two familiar hedgehogs team up to gather the Chaos Emeralds in order to stop the mad scientist's latest evil scheme, while two newcomers join forces to get to the bottom of this Phantom Ruby, planning to fight fire with fire.

=== Playable ===
====== Sonic the Hedgehog ======
The Blue Blur, the Speed Demon, the Fastest Thing Alive, it doesn't matter. Sonic uses his special speed ability to help others, fight evil, and usually foil Dr. Robotnik's world domination plans. He can sometimes come off as cocky, but he has always been able to walk his talk thus far. He also knows that sometimes, one hedgehog is not enough to save the world.
====== Shadow the Hedgehog ======
Long ago Shadow was created in a space lab to rival the prophesied Blue Blur. While he has moved on from his shady past, the Ultimate Lifeform is seen as an anti-hero, having good intentions but stopping at nothing to achieve his goals, much to Sonic's chagrin. Shadow still understands that black goes best with blue, as the two hedgehogs will team up to save the world if need be.
====== Zero the Jackal / Infinite ======
Infinite is a mercenary first and foremost. Like Shadow before him, he fights for what he believes in, though not being nearly as powerful as the Ultimate Lifeform, this has landed him in trouble more than once. He is ruthless in his approach towards others, using them to get what he wants, and if he is slighted, even by someone he genuinely cares about, he will snap.
====== Zenith the Hedgehog ======
Zenith is a neurodivergent outcast, easily letting himself get persuaded by others since he has very limited social skills. He spent nearly all his life secluded from the public, only befriending and working with Infinite as a means of getting by. He lives mostly within his thoughts, which tend to race around and pile up on him, making him think one thing is true when it's not.
=== Non-Playable ===
The following characters are confirmed to appear alongside the playable characters.
* Miles "Tails" Prower
* Rouge the Bat
* E-123 Omega
* Dr. Ivo Robotnik

== Plot ==
The game is divided into a total of seven story arcs pertaining to each of the four main characters, with all but the last story available to play right away. "Team Chaos" is an episode involving Sonic and Shadow, while "Team Phantom" heavily revolves around Infinite and Zenith. The four main characters' individual episodes should be treated as prequel tales and are not necessary for any% completion.
