New details have surfaced early Friday concerning Sonic the Hedgehog’s celebratory collaboration with SEGA’s mobile app, Fist of the North Star LEGENDS ReVIVE.
The mobile app is expected to unveil Sonic in a in-game crossover event in commemoration of the hedgehog’s upcoming 30th anniversary.
We have learned courtesy of a translation from Famitsu that Sonic was specified as a character who obtains rings to increase the strength of his abilities.
One of his abilities include a special move, Light Attack. “Sweep away enemies with the power cumulated by spin, then you can get rings from the item box,” long-time Japanese Sonic follower Inazumag11 told us.
There is also a secret technique named Super Sonic. Long-time colleague SonicJPNews told us that Sonic is invincible in this state, consuming rings instead of HP. “Sonic turns into the golden Super Sonic with the power of Chaos Emeralds,” Inazumag11 continued, “and flies to rush at enemies relentlessly.”
“We’ve got yet another use of an optimized Forces model. Though his shade of blue is much darker.” – Bluwolfboy (Bluwolfboy/Twitter) “But this time they’re using a optimized version of the Forces Super Sonic model!” – Bluwolfboy (Bluwolfboy/Twitter)
Published by SEGA in 2019, Fist of the North Star LEGENDS ReVIVE is a RPG mobile game based upon the popular Fist of the North Star series, one of the highest-grossing franchises of all time.
The collaboration event will begin 19 June Japan time.
