SEGA president John Cheng has revealed that Sonic: Lost World will feature all new gameplay and enemies, as well as some new friends to accompany Sonic. Cheng has said:

“With ‘Sonic Lost World,’ we’re going to introduce new gameplay and enemies, which is always fun. In terms of Sonic and his friends, he’ll have his same friends there, and I think there’ll be some new ones as well. It’s not a reiteration. It’s going to be all new.”
