Hope you’ve readied your wallets, folks. Sonic Forces is less than two months away from launch now, and there’s a lot about the game to get psyched about. The ability to live out your dream of having your own original character star in an official Sonic game, a notably much more ambitious and serious story compared to recent entries, a cool new villain, and now Shadow the Hedgehog returning as a playable character for the first time in over a decade, longtime fans of the series might have little reason to sit this game out.
That said, if you’re the type of gamer who prefers the convenience of owning a game digitally and playing it the moment it’s officially released, we bring good news! Preorders for the digital versions of Sonic Forces on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One are going live today, with the PC version going live on Thursday, September 21.
(Unfortunately this does not apply to the Nintendo Switch iteration, as the console’s eShop is not currently enabling early purchases and preloads.)
Those who purchase the game early digitally will automatically receive the previously announced SEGA/Atlus costume pack Add-on, and the Shadow Costume, for the Custom Hero character. All owners of the game regardless of medium will also be receiving the newly revealed Episode Shadow Add-on as well.
Sonic Forces launches on November 7 for PS4, Xbox One, PC, and Nintendo Switch.
Will episode Shadow come in the physical bonus edition for the switch?
“All owners of the game regardless of medium will also be receiving the newly revealed Episode Shadow Add-on as well.”
Seems to imply it’ll be on the Switch too.
It won’t be in the box, but it’ll be free DLC. All you’ll have to do is download it separately.
So excited for this game! Really hope they post PC specs requirements tho, whether I pre-order will depend on that 😛
Already decided on my custom characters (I really hope you can make more than one, because that would be a waste otherwise):
-Beat the Radio
-Akira the Joker
-Amitie the Pup
