Sonic Frontiers just got a small but official preview and fans cannot be more ecstatic! While some fans are simply “out of words” expressing their excitement, others have some interesting comparisons. As most of us figured by now, Sonic Frontiers will feature a beautiful open world suited to peeps who love exploring.
While most reactions focused on how promising Sonic Frontiers is, a lot of fans seem to have found a huge similarity with the critically acclaimed The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. Fans were quick enough to spot the similarities, and this reportedly even got “Breath of the Wild” to trend on Twitter. The comparisons got massively hyped, with fans nicknaming the game “Sonic Breath of the Wild”.

Sonic Frontiers got its first trailer back in December at The Game Awards 2021. Since then, open-world and Sonic enthusiasts have been anticipating a release date for the exciting new Sonic The Hedgehog game.

Sonic Frontiers just got a new preview, and fans couldn’t be happier!
The recent video teaser showed off Sonic Frontiers’ world and a tiny glimpse of what the gameplay may look like. It came with an official tweet that advises fans to stay tuned to IGN First for an exclusive cover story for more world-exclusive reveals.

Even though this is just a short simple teaser.
But so far, Sonic Frontiers is something I've wanted to see in an Open World type of game for Sonic.Yes! You can say It's The Legend Of Zelda: Breath The Wild With Sonic in it.
But this game looks like it's gonna be revolutionary! https://t.co/2bA9yCBHNg— Woody and Daffy Duck (Daniel) (@DaffyWoody) May 31, 2022
I mean, it wouldn’t surprise me if Sonic Frontiers did take some inspiration from Breath of the Wild? Maybe. It’s not far-fetched.
It’s a series of multiple inspirations. Main characters being inspired by DBZ, Lost World taking inspiration from Mario. Possibly a few more. pic.twitter.com/okPPm6s1fK

An opinion that sparked an interesting debate – check out the thread!
Am I the only one that has sent too excited about this? Idk it just looks so barren. And I wasn’t a huge fan of BOTW or it’s huge world. It leads to some paranoia that I’m always missing something. I also wasn’t a huge fan of PLA. But that’s probably just me 🤷♂️

That comparison though!
Environment looks really beautiful so far. Surprised seeing a bit of combat (getting a hint of Bayonetta vibes) I wanna see more.

So, it's a mix between the boost gameplay and the Adventure/06 gameplay?
Me likey.
