The Confusing Marketing of Sonic Frontiers

Sonic has had a crazy good year in 2022. First with the Sonic 2 movie being a smash hit, the Idw comics going strong, a decent compilation with Sonic Origins, an awesome tv show with Sonic Prime and finally his big 3d game Sonic Frontiers. Of course, the road to that big game was anything but smooth. From its announcement at the sonic central and game awards to its disappointing gameplay in June at Ign first, to its eventually rise from that at Gamescom and Tokyo Game show. This video will try to cover all of what occurred over the past 500 plus days of this games marketing. Leaving no stone unturned to figure out what went wrong with the marketing of Sonic Frontiers and what went right.
