Sonic Forces (canon)

Sonic Forces is a 3D platforming game in the Sonic the Hedgehog series. It was developed by Sega's Sonic Team, and released for Microsoft Windows, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One on November 7, 2017 in all regions but Japan, where it released on the 9th. Forces was released to mixed reception.
The main new feature of the game is the "Avatar", a customizable playable character that uses equippable Wispon weapons. Different levels revolve around either the Avatar; "Modern" Sonic, who uses boost-style gameplay; and Classic Sonic, who plays on a sidescrolling 2D plane and has the Drop Dash introduced in Sonic Mania.
The free DLC pack Episode Shadow reintroduces Shadow the Hedgehog as the playable character, who plays similarly to "Modern" Sonic but with additional homing attacks. Episode Shadow serves as a prequel to Forces' story.
==Overview==
===Story===
Dr. Eggman, with the help of returning villains and new character Infinite, defeats Sonic and tortures him in solitary confinement in the Death Egg space station for six months. In the meantime, Eggman is able to take over 99% of the planet unobstructed. Knuckles the Echidna leads a Resistance comprised of Sonic's other friends, as well as a new recruit, the Avatar.
With the help of the Avatar, the Resistance breaks into the Death Egg and rescues Sonic. Tails is saved from Chaos by Classic Sonic, who emerges from the wormhole from the end of Sonic Mania. Classic Sonic and Tails learn that Infinite's power source is the Phantom Ruby, and that in three days, it will be able to destroy the Resistance.
Shadow reveals that Eggman's followers are virtual replicas created by Infinite, including a copy of Shadow himself. Tails uses Eggman's computer network to find that the Phantom Ruby is apparently powered by the Death Egg's core. The Avatar stages a diversion while the two Sonics destroy the Death Egg.
The Resistance goes on to attack Eggman's capital, Metropolis, before Eggman reveals a trick: there is a backup generator under the city. Infinite creates a sun to crash-land on the planet and annihilate the Resistance. The Avatar dispels it using a recovered prototype Phantom Ruby, enabling them and Sonic to defeat Infinite. As a last gambit, Eggman places the Phantom Ruby in a Death Egg Robot and enters it for a final battle against the playable characters.
Once Eggman's robot and the Phantom Ruby are destroyed, Classic Sonic returns to his home dimension. The Resistance disbands so Sonic and his friends can rebuild the world, as he and the Avatar part ways.
