Sonic Forces takes a cue from Deviant Art with user-generated characters

Tails, Knuckles, Amy, and friends are about to get a lot more company.

Sega announced today that its upcoming game, Sonic Forces, lets you create your own characters. You can then play as your creation as part of the platformer’s third gameplay style, following modern Sonic’s 3D/2D hybrid stages and classic Sonic’s retro, all 2D levels. This is the first time a Sonic game has allowed players to make their own characters. Sonic Forces is coming out during the holiday season for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Switch, and PC. The Sonic series debuted in 1991 and has since sold over 80 million games.
