Sonic Forces Debuts “Rental Avatar” Hero Swapping Social Feature

Today, SEGA® released brand new Infinite battle footage from Sonic Forces™, showcasing the Bird Hero Character battling with the Lightning Wispon, and the Cat Hero Character attacking with the Cube Wispon. Players can take advantage of two different Hero Characters’ abilities and Wispons thanks to the “Rental Avatar” Hero Swapping feature.

The new free “Rental Avatar” feature allows access to Hero Characters built by players around the world, granting them the ability to use their Wispons and swap between their character and the “Rental Avatar” at any point in the level. Besides seeing some gorgeous and/or hilarious characters as a result, this feature will let players utilize two different Wispons in a single level to find secret paths and overcome any obstacles in their way.

In addition to the new Infinite boss battle (see video above), you can also check out new footage of the Bird Hero Character utilizing the Drill Wispon in the Chemical Plant below.

The game will be available for Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC on November 7. Both Digital and Physical Bonus Editions of the game are now available to pre-order. Fingers crossed this game doesn’t blow. Sonic Mania was the best Sonic game in ages and blowing it so soon after that game released would be a real shame.
