The Creative Assembly’s multiplayer hero shooter Hyenas has finally showcased some new in-game action and a new playable character called Hero-Ki.

We also get a look at some of the actual in-game action of Hyenas, with the various characters floating around the map in anti-gravity and shooting each other in first person. You can see that via the next embed:

Fresh footage of the new Bayonetta spin-off, Bayonetta Origins: Cereza and the Lost Demon has premiered during the latest Nintendo Direct.

The latest Sonic Prime trailer has arrived and in this extended 2 minute look at the show we get to see even more “shatterspaces” and variants of Sonic’s buddies. We even get a whole menagerie of different Eggmen! You can check out the full trailer via the embed below:
Sonic Prime launches on Netflix December 15th 2022. The series is being animated by Wildbrain and features Deven Mack as the voice of Sonic the Hedgehog.
SEGA has released a new trailer for the upcoming Sonic Frontiers, launching next month. This time, we get a look at the various ways Sonic will be able to sock it to his foes.
The trailer notes that as well as the typical Sonic fare, such as homing attacks, drop dashing and the stomp, Sonic’s combat has been massively expanded with a skill tree system implemented. We also get a glimpse at how this stuff’s upgraded – Skill Tokens from defeating enemies (giving incentive to actually go after them instead of waltzing by as you might be tempted to), and Seeds of Power and Defense from completing other tasks. We also get to see the Cyloop yet again, with emphasis put onto how it can be used in combat – and the Phantom Rush, a powered-up state where afterimages of Sonic fly around the enemies, laying on the hurt. It actually reminds us of the Sonic OVA a bit!
Finally, we get a look at the cosmetics included with the game’s digital deluxe edition – some very brown shoes and gloves. We’re personally not too sure the fashion justifies the Digital Deluxe approach we’ve called out in the past (nor the included bonus items, which just seem to be a means to… play less game?), but at the very least there’s no early access included this time – presumably they’ve learned their lesson on that detail after Colours Ultimate.

Sonic Prime will launch exclusively on Netflix in Winter 2022. Deven Christian Mack will voice Sonic the Hedgehog for the first time.
A new Sonic Frontiers trailer has arrived alongside the game’s appearance at the Tokyo Games Show 2022. The new trailer features more combat against the giant robots we’ve seen in past trailers, but this time we get our first look at Super Sonic in the game. You can check out the new trailer by clicking the embed below:
Sonic Frontiers is being developed by Sonic Team and will release on Switch, PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S on November 8th 2022.
The first episode of “Sonic Origins: Speed Strats” has been released, a new series of trailers that offers a deeper look into the upcoming Sonic compilation coming to modern platforms.
This edition includes a look at the various modes and options on offer across the entire package, as detailed below (via SEGA PR)
Classic Mode – For a trip down memory lane, Classic Mode features the original game presentation in 4×3 with remastered visuals, finite lives and game overs. Classic Mode is available for all four titles and is unlocked from the start.
Anniversary Mode – If you are looking for something new, Anniversary Mode features a full 16×9 screen display and an infinite number of lives to keep the fun going without any game overs. Anniversary Mode is available for all four titles and is unlocked from the start.
Story Mode – Combines all four games into one adventure. Start with Sonic the Hedgehog 1 and end with Sonic the Hedgehog 3 & Knuckles.
Animations / Cutscenes – Sonic Origins includes all-new animated opening and ending cutscenes for each game, connecting all of Sonic’s classic adventures.
Boss Rush Mode – Battle Dr. Eggman, Metal Sonic and other challenging foes in Boss Rush Mode.
Mission Mode – Take on various missions in all four games. The better you perform the higher your rank will be.
Mirror Mode – Once unlocked, experience classic levels in a brand new way – backwards.
Coins – Enjoy new rewards by collecting coins in Anniversary Mode or completing missions in Mission Mode. If players fail a special stage in Anniversary Mode, coins can be used to retry the stage instantly. Coins can also be used to redeem content in the museum.
Museum – Check out a ton of exciting music, concept art, videos and never-before-seen content found in the Premium Collection Vault.
Notable points in the trailer include a look at a new intro for Tails in Sonic 3 & Knuckles (we actually see him land the plane this time!), and re-iterating that Sonic CD will retains its original intro and outro cutscenes, fully remastered – in addition to the brand new cutscenes made for the game’s Story Mode.
As a cool aside, this trailer was produced by Strategy Guide PR, and as a result the narration was provided by Evan from our friends over at TailsChannel. It’s nice to see SEGA finding ways to bring fans into the fold, especially given the remasters in Origins started out as a simple pitch from a fan that then exploded into something more as the years went by.
Sonic Origins launches June 23rd on PS4, Xbox, Nintendo Switch and PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store.
