Knuckles has been confirmed to appear in Sonic Unleashed, making him the 4th confirmed character in the upcoming release following Sonic, Tails and Amy (Not counting Super Sonic and Werehog Sonic). From to the UK’s official Playstation Magazine:
That’s all we wanted to hear! Fewer characters, more Sonic!


awesome!!! more Sonic and less characters!!! Im guessing the “new” character the magazine was talking about is the werehog? this is looking better and better! its a must-buy!
It’s certainly shaping up to be a must buy in my opinion. I’m really hoping we get some more Sonic Unleashed Videos showing off gameplay in the near future, but SEGA has been pretty quiet lately.
Onlay Sonic is alright, but I want to see Tails and Co. in the game.
Just see in the story, it´s not worse if I couldn´t play them, but just Sonic is….well I love Sonic but Tails and Knuckles are a ” must be in every Sonic game”. There are lot of new charakters but they HAVE to be in the game.
Well SegaSonic, both Tails and Knuckles are in the game. We learned in ONM that Tails and Amy would both be making appearances in Sonic Unleashed:

And in the recent release of the Official Playstation Mag, we discovered that Knuckles will also appear in Sonic Unleashed. You got nothing to worry about mate
Well, i hope shadow is in the game. His presence would make the story darker and more mature, think sa2.
Voltaire, I respect your opinion, but I think a lot of us retro Sonic Fans have had just about enough of a hedgehog with guns.
My opinion of course. We’ll have to wait and see.
I like sonic, knuckles and tails,….(the classic trio), and eggman…
the anothers can appear in less protagonism..
sa2 had no guns.
I will be happy is this game does sticks with the original sonic characters, though I have nothing against all his other friends it might prove to be a more “pure” if you will Sonic game if it sticks to its roots even more with Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles.
I’m right there with you Pete. I could really use a good’ol fashion Sonic game =)
The latest sonic games had had crappy storylines, and what i meant by shadow is that i hope sega comes up with a solid story. Sonic Heroes was a disappoinment, and sonic 06 was just terrible. Im hoping for gameplay better than secret rings, and thats ultametly what matters most, but i also what a good story, and sa2 had the best storyline of any sonic game, and im sure the introduction of the antihero hedgehog had somthing to do with that.
ps. Shadow the Hedghog shouldnt have been made.
Great!!!!!
tails ,knuckles,amy and shadow are in the game.I hope that others characters are in too like rouge,silver and blaze.
eh….eh….eh……i heard that jet,storm and that girl of babylon team were in toooooo!!!!!!!!!!yeah!oooopppssss…………it is just a lie hi hi hi dont get too excited it is a lie eh eh eh
God i hope not
thank god Knuckes is here cause he is ma favorite character in the whole series. I would love a cut scene with Knuckles fighting with Werehog Sonic
why have amy? she stunk in sa1
sweet knuckles is comin out!!but why amy i mean i hate her why does she have to be one of the startin charecters why not just the three sonic knuckles and tails?oh well…hey at least sonic is still the main charecter.I LOVE SONIC!!!!
I wish for Shadow to be in, since he might be just the guy who can bring Were-Sonic back to his senses might he go somehow berserk.
YES!!! Knuckles and Tails in the game!! I really dislike tons of charactres, but tails and Knuckles (along with sonic) are definatley my faves. I was dissapointed to hear that Knuckles was not playable in superstars tennis, and shadow, amy, tails, eggman and sonic were. I really hope that tails and knuckles are playable characters. I know it says starring roles, but i really hope they are playable. We’ve never been able to properly play as them for years, I still play SA2 because each character could be playable on their own. (SA1 is the same) I know the game is all about the hedgehog, but i dont want it to be sonic specific like the ’secret rings’ game was. Because it got boring being sonic ‘all the time’ -_- thanks for reading, sorry for the huuuge comment, but thanks for sharing the information! Camp Sonic is awesome!
I’m sad that they kicked Silver out. He is only in hmm. 3 games? Sonic in hmm…ALL OF THEM!! (Maybe in Tails Adventure idk.) And I’ve had just about enough of Shadow. Shadow ruined SA2 Because they made Him look like the best character and not Sonic. (He died… Hip hip hooray) But then here comes Sonic Team and they make him in Sonic Heroes. “Talk about being stubburn and full of surprises.” The only thing good about Sonic Heroes is that There are a whole bucnh of Shadow thingies at the end of team dark which means they are a whole bunch of shadows out there. Not that I hate him, I’m just SICk of the guy. Lol Sonic rulez and so does Silver and tails and knux but not amy. (REPLACE HER, SOMEONE!!!) Sorry for long comment
@AllHailSilver: *takes a deap breath* Okay. First, Sonic is in all Sonic games because they are SONIC games! Second, I assume you’re a Silver fan, right? Why would you want him in a game with a werewolf?! The “silver is a werewolf’s weakness” jokes would be retentless. Third, there are many people who enjoy/love/obsess over/are a fan of Shadow. Finally, Amy came before Knuckles, so in my mind, she has more of a right to be in the newer games. In conclusion, please try to stay positive about Unleashed and Sonic in general. Who knows? We may be in for a surprise!
Thats good, Knuckles is cool and all but his gameplay was so boring in sa1 and 2, i hope this game is all sonic and his werehog form. Maybe he can be in Multiplayer if theres gonna be.
I loving this game
I glad they using Tails and Knuckles ,but Amy more or less
I hope you play as knuckles and Tails (maybe Blaze or Sliver) too in story for one level or tiny part or mutliplayer or online at least.
I wonder if he’s playable
I don’t know why no one else did this before, but I just used this announcement to update wikipedia’s list of characters on the sonic unleashed article.
