I’m not sure if this is brand new, or if it just hasn’t picked up any attention for some reason yet, but I’m going to say this is New Plot Information for Sonic Unleashed until someone corrects me. I just saw this interesting summary of Sonic Unleashed over on the official SU website:
Sonic the Hedgehog is on an adventure unlike any other! When Dr. Eggman unleashed a slumbering beast from the center of the Earth, there is a devastating tremor that splinters the world into many continents. Sonic must race to restore the planet in chaos, but an unusual situation challenges him in never-before-seen ways. Both day and night play different, yet important, roles in Sonic’s newest quest… as the sun sets, an intriguing adventure awakens!
Well this is way different from what I imagined the game was all about when I first read about Dr. Eggman’s new machine. I’m starting to wonder if that creepy Dragon Boss character might be this “beast” mentioned in the new game description? It’s pure speculation of course, but it’s starting to seem plausible.
I should note that I was only able to find this on the US version of the Sonic Unleashed website when I saw it, and there was no such page on the UK version. Might be a good idea to keep an eye out for updates over the next few days.
we all also consider you as a...
@ B gal - New Sonic Chronicles Trailer.
I just can’t really get into that game. I’ll hold my judgement until it’s out and reviewed, but it just looks like another Sonic failure waiting to happen to me. They seem to be taking Sonic at two directions at once right now, which is sort of weird — Unleashed is reinventing the series, while Chronicles seems to be perpetuating the idea that more characters = better Sonic games.
@Osnic: Where’s the new trailer?
I like Shadow.
I see how the online Sonic community dislikes Shadow… but I wonder about the general gaming public. Will a typical gamer choose Shadow over Amy, Tails, or Knuckles? That is something to consider.
To be honest… I like Shadow as the “serious” version of Sonic… and that is the only character (other than Sonic) I play as. Sonic and Shadow are like Goku and Vegeta.
@WOWZ: If Mario can have a dark (as in evil/bad) counterpart, Wario, then why can’t Sonic have his? I’ve never heard as much complains about Mario’s cast as with Sonic’s, by the way…
(as a side-note, I think they’re portraying Wario as a complete fool/nutter/freak in Brawl, which is sad :P)
Shadow is my least favorite…
Its supposed to go back to the old games, not Shadow.
admin: ADMIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIN~ Big news! Big news!
Sonic Unleashed confirmed for November! Possibly November 4!
And, well, Sonic Unleashed was pretty much meant to be a “placeholder” title, like “Hyper Sonic” was for Sonic and the Secret Rings, right?
Nothing is for certain right now, but it could be changed to Sonic World Adventure!
…which makes all the similarities to Sonic Adventure seem to make complete sense in regards to the title. Both titles are fitting, but it hasn’t been completely confirmed yet by SEGA and what not, so stay on your toes.
…so, anybody up for a Sonic Adventure spinoff? *SHOT*
WOWZ: The connection between Sonic Adventure and Sonic Adventure 2 isn’t really as much a storyline connection as much as it is the overall gameplay experience, of Sonic and his friends facing off against dangerous threats and exploring vast and exotic landscapes, with the ability to use the abilities of both Sonic AND his friends. (And in SA2’s case, his enemies.) Also, Chao Gardens!
Things like the Emerald Altar in the Final Story and the Artificial Chaos in the ARK levels fall back to Sonic Adventure, but for the most part, it’s the EXPERIENCE that Sonic Adventure and Sonic Adventure 2 have in common, not the storyline.
I just hope it gets a Chao Garden, too.
Also it needs a few other characters like Shadow (he’s my favourite) playable.
I’m just so glad DIMPS is behind the Wii-version of the game, which will certainly rule since they made Sonic Rush (Adventure).
They however didn’t include the Metarex-saga of Sonic X in any Adventure game, so they could use that in the plot, but I seriously doubt that, but it’s just an idea.
After all, it really seems Sonic Unleashed will be the third entry in the Adventure series.
I heard that it’s will be the thrid game in the adventures series.
I hope it is a chao garden.
This were-wolf thing is gonna be awsome.
And i don’t think this game will fail, but if the game fail we have Sonic Chronicles:The dark brotherhood to the DS.
It looks awsome too, have you seen the new trailer?
I don’t think Unleashed will connect with Adventure XP.
BUT if there was a 3rd in my mind it would be cool if they explain the connection from Sonic Adventure 1 and 2. Because they had no relation at ALL.
Careful with the whole Imarrius thing. The same site that made that statement later admitted that they had made it up for the publicity. The wikipedia page for sonic unleashed has been terribly maintained in my opinion, so I want to give a fair warning not to trust much you see there without verification on your own part.
If you look at Wikipedia under all Sonic Game Characters, you’ll see a small piece about Immarius the dragon at the centre of the world. I reckon he’s the beast that Eggman wakes up. Also this game is turning into a real Sonic Adventure.
Sonic Adventure 1: Eggman wakes up Chaos a creature intent on destroying the world.
Sonic Adventure 2: Eggman wakes up Shadow a hedgehog intent on blowing up the world.
Sonic Unleashed: Eggman wakes up some sort of evil monster thing a creature intent on shattering the world.
Yeah, that’s the whole true story. I read the sonic unleashed website. I hope this game doesn’t SUCK.
DON’T MISS IT UP SEGA AND SONIC TEAM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I doubt that animals will be involved,but that would be a nice trowback indeed.
But eggman will be the the primary enemy for most of the game,with his precious robots of course..
Hey wait,perhaps that animal idea was right after all…
If sonic is normal at day,same goes for other things.
But at night..
admin - Damn, you are ON this stuff, man. I was just going to tell you about how the SEGA of America FTP has the Fact Sheet for Sonic Unleashed for Gamers Day. Most of it is stuff that we already know, but there’s one line that ties in…
“Players find that Dr. Eggman continues on his mission for domination, but this time he’s upped the stakes by causing a catastrophic event that breaks apart the world and unleashed a slumbering beast that alters Sonic in unexpected ways.”
I didn’t know whether this means that Eggman unleashed Weresonic, or if he unleashes the evil purple aura’d beast that we saw in the leaked screenshots and that beast changed Sonic. …well, this along with the new development on the US Sonic Unleashed sort of makes it somewhat clearer. He might’ve tried to use the power of Super Sonic with his machine to unleash the purple Dragon Boss guy. *sigh* What is it with Eggman and ancient powers that he knows he can’t control? Doesn’t he ever learn…well, he would’ve given up a long time ago if he did. XD
Also something else that is interesting, “The splintered world of Sonic Unleashed delivers a massive playground where players can choose an array of paths when jetting through each stage. Each unique route offers different encounters with varying rewards and obstacles.” This seems to indicate that there are multiple paths within each level.
The Fact Sheet also doesn’t identify the world as Earth, but I suppose they did it to help with the overall tone of the Fact Sheet, which is very, very much more of a “Hype Sheet”. Lots of big, descriptive words, which only serve to make my itch for this game worse. D:

dragonite- seeing as Eggman actually didn’t succeed in releasing Iblis (he simply caused Rouge to accidentally drop the Scepter of Darkness, leading Mephiles to go release Iblis himself), it wouldn’t be a “take two” in this respect. ‘Sides, Iblis set the world on fire, so far, everything seems to be intact. Also, the fact sheet and the other bits of information we have so far seems to cement Eggman as the “main bad guy”, regardless of the Dragon Boss, so maybe he DOES get control of him this time. About time. Eggy!
stereo- Actually, the Erazor Djinn was sealed in the world of the Arabian Nights, which is separate from Sonic’s world. Still, they DID have a hard time controlling all of them. Emerl came about at the time of the Fourth Great Civilization, meaning that there were three more that could’ve possibly been wiped out, maybe even the Echindas being one of those civilizations. And seeing as Emerl was from thousands of years ago, who knows what number the current Great Civilization is. (Which seems to comprise of human beings and the odd few anthromorphic animals. Man, we humans just won’t quit! XD )
Sonic & Eggman fight. (Think about the Sonic 2 final boss.)
Sonic goes Super! (Super Saiyan lvl 2 to be precise.)
Eggman traps Sonic! *gasp*
He drains the emeralds powers. (Oh Noes! D:)
Doing so makes the world fall apart. (EPA is gonna be pissed.)
Beast unleashed! (Disproving God.)
It attacks the Death Egg! (As a thank you.)
Sonic brused and beaten escapes by jumping off at the last second and free falling to Earth barely able to keep consciousness! Of course Tails, the friend that he is eventually catches him with his plane.
The ancient evil then proceeds to turn all cute loving creatures into savage beasts!
It is now up to you to save the world AND yourself!! XD
you’re right, it’s probably the dragon thing.
seems like the sonic universe has so many monsters that were sealed away for an age. Chaos, Iblis, Erazor Djinn, Emerel, now this guy. the ancient civilizations must have been real busy trying to control them all.
NEEEEEWS!!!!!!!!!!!
*much* *chew*
ah.. savor the moment.
Anyway,this is starting to look like ”iblis take 2” a bit.
Actually,the setting is a bit weird now.
We have the split world,which is typically sonic.
We have a savage monster,which is alot like the basic sonic plot nowadays.
We have realistic levels based on the real world.
Okay,this is a funky mix,I tell ya…
And I can see the final boss coming now…*sweatdrop*
A epic battle with the monster that is now stronger than ever at the flaming core of the earth…
The only part I don’t know is what sonic’s form and status will be,but for the rest…
Shall we bet on this?
I wonder how far off I will be.
All wait for the e3?..
Well, WELL! That’s a very interesting little tibbit of information you have there. As for what it means to the plot, you got me. Perhaps some “perfect chaos” sort of creature? I guess this is just one more question to add to our ever-growing list of things to ask at E3.

It sounds like you’re interested in the game. I suggest subscribing to updates from Camp Sonic (Right Menu), and we’ll email you whenever we discover something new
Is Sonic Unleashed going to look like Sonic Adventure storylines? Is there going to be a Chao Garden in Sonic Unleashed? What playable characters are going to be in Sonic Unleashed? What stages will be there? What bosses will be there? What is the final boss going to look like? Will it be Were Sonic during night stages? How will I get the seven Chaos Emeralds? Is Sonic Unleashed for Nintendo Wii going to be a best version? Thank you.
