SEGA has announced Sonic Boom: Fire & Ice, a new chapter in the Sonic Boom series coming exclusively to 3DS later this year. Gameplay will, shockingly, task you to harness the power of the elements in order to make it successfully through levels. Playable characters include Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, Sticks and Amy, while Dr. Eggman also returns alongside super villain D-Fekt.
A new mode, called Bot Racing, will be tied to the single-player while also featuring multiplayer aspects. It’s apparently focused on racing and speed, where users unlock character-themed Bots to use.
The previous two entries in the Sonic Boom series, Rise of Lyric and Shattered Crystal, ended up being the worst-selling Sonic titles in history. It was presumed these would be the final titles in the three-game exclusivity deal Nintendo penned with SEGA, but it seems there may be more to come after all.
