Sonic is the star of Sonic Frontiers, but a new video helps establish what’s going on with Knuckles the Echidna in the game. “Sonic Frontiers Prologue: Divergence” is a six minute animation starring the character. It’s a fairly introspective piece establishing his role in the new game as the Master Emerald guardian.
Here is the full “Sonic Frontiers Prologue: Divergence” video starring Knuckles.
The short is set on Angel Island, with Knuckles standing guard in front of the Master Emerald. He thinks about why he’s responsible for the safety of the animals, forests, and Master Emerald. When he does, he thinks back to his ancestors’ attempt to steal it and who even created the Emerald. While Knuckles ponders the island’s mysteries, we also see Chao living there and going about their lives.
However, when Knuckles finds an odd artifact and new ruin after assisting a Chao, he happens upon a new mystery. It’s then that he meets the same sorts of opponents Sonic will fight in the game.
This is the second recent story-heavy video to show up for Sonic Frontiers. Back in August 2022, Sega released a new trailer focusing on the game’s story.
Sonic Frontiers will come to the Nintendo Switch, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, and PC on November 8.
