Sonic Team’s game needs to be viewed as a standalone work that’s contributing to the Sonic franchise’s future, and that’ll be much easier for fans and critics alike to do without the experience of playing the BotW sequel on their minds. Still, the Breath of the Wild family of games can’t wholly define Sonic Frontiers. In recent years, Breath of the Wild has inspired many games, and for good reason Nintendo found a highly successful way to make an open-world action-adventure game. There’s no shame in Sonic Frontiers‘ similarities to Breath of the Wild.

Breath of the Wild 2 is also so demanded that, if the two games released close to one another, Sonic Frontiers would have a good chance of losing the battle for launch sales. Sonic Frontiers‘ innovations can be better appreciated if it has time to define itself, rather than being defined by timely comparisons, regardless of whether the comparisons are good or bad. If the game isn’t released alongside another BotW game, then there will be more cause to judge it on its own merits, rather than comparing it to the highly similar BotW2. That’s not dissimilar from the history-heavy Breath of the Wild, which frequently challenges players with various Guardian models.īecause the two games are so similar, Sonic Frontiers will likely be better off thanks to the Breath of the Wild sequel delay, assuming Sonic Frontiers makes its 2022 release window.

Sonic Frontiers‘ Starfall Islands are covered in long-abandoned ruins that are supposedly full of ancient technology, and the announcement trailer suggests that Sonic will be fighting giant robots. The Sonic game’s story seems to have similar elements as well. The Sonic Frontiers trailers show off a grassy open world that’ll presumably serve as a gateway to various other vibrant and exciting biomes, just like how Breath of the Wild‘s open world is structured. There’s no denying the similarities between Sonic Frontiers and Zelda: Breath of the Wild.
