The action-adventure game will launch on November 7, the publisher revealed today. Pre-orders for the retail release are available now.

Now Playing: Sonic Forces Gameplay - Surviving A City Under Siege At E3 2017

While Sonic Mania was specifically attempting to modernize the classic 2D Sonic formula, Sonic Forces is taking a much different approach. The game will switch between 2D and 3D modes, and you'll play as Classic Sonic, Modern Sonic, and a custom character, depending on the level. Some levels will even combine segments of 3D and 2D action.

The game will be available on PS4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC. You can check out gameplay of Sonic Forces in our videos from E3 2017. Sega also announced today the Sonic Forces Bonus Edition, which comes with a cool-looking Persona 5 costume.

Looks like a souped up Adventures with some 2D portions mixed back in. Could be interesting.

There are so many amazing Sega franchises to choose from, why do they keep going back to mediocre Sonic titles?

Sega is what happens when a company loses vision and passion.

The 2D bits look great, if they did the whole game like that with those graphics I'd buy it.

@hughesyboozy@turok0: Doing full 2D will turn into unrest in the fanbase. They should NOT do that. They should do the opposite which is full 3D. I will get upset if they do what you guys suggested. This is like conversating about politics.

@hughesyboozy: Sega should give up making 3D Sonic games. The kind of fast action of a Sonic game doesn't translate well to 3D
