So stop me if you've heard this one before in a Sonic game. Dr. Robotnik is planning to take over the world...yeah, I thought so.
Anyway, Sega has released a new trailer today at E3 for Sonic Forces, releasing this holiday season for the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC. Dr. Robotnik, and yes he's actually listed as Dr. Ivo "Eggman" Robotnik in the press release, has a new plan to finally take over the world. He's bringing back some old friends of his in the forms of Chaos (Sonic Adventure), Shadow (Sonic Adventure 2), Metal Sonic (Sonic CD), and Zavoc (Sonic Lost World), but now has help from a new villain: Infinite, a powerful and mysterious enemy. Could Dr. Robotnik finally have a plan that'll actually succeed? Well if trying to destroy Sonic in giant robots doesn't work, might as well enlist some new help.
