It’s the first original Sonic the Hedgehog game since the utterly excellent Sonic Mania launched in 2017.
Sonic Superstars is very much a homage to the classic style of Sonic the Hedgehog games, returning the series back to its 2D platforming roots rather than going open world as we saw last year with Sonic Frontiers. And if you want to know the exact Sonic Superstars release time, rest easy knowing that this has been confirmed. Alas, Nintendo Switch players are left waiting until Friday, October 20 to play Super Mario Bros Wonder, but Sega’s next adventure for the blue blur launches a lot sooner – tomorrow, in fact.
It’s not every day you get both a new Sonic the Hedgehog and Super Mario game launching in the exact same week, but that’s what can happen in such a stacked calendar year for game releases as 2023 is. Sonic the Hedgehog’s latest 2D platforming adventure is about to launch, so we’ve done the math on when you can start playing with the confirmed Sonic Superstars release time.
