Description

Players guide the trio through vibrant worlds, springing, spinning, and smashing crystal cells while battling henchmen and bosses. The game blends quick reflexes with strategic puzzle solving for both solo and cooperative play on PlayStation 4 and Nintendo Switch.

Amy discovers an ancient manuscript that reveals the location of a Lost Crystal of Power, prompting the villain Lyric the Last Ancient to kidnap her. Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, and new ally Sticks the Badger must follow her trail across jungles and canyons of a mysterious island. The heroes battle Lyric’s robot army and solve environmental puzzles, proving that teamwork is stronger than any single effort. Together they aim to retrieve the crystal and save Amy before the ancient power falls into the wrong hands.
