Sonic the Hedgehog will headline Fortnite’s new “Override” season.
Players will be able to play as Sonic and unlock the Tails Sidekick with the purchase of the Battle Pass for the hedgehog’s 35th anniversary. The collaboration will also feature the Tails Sprite, Rings and Sonic Power Sneakers, which allows players to Spin Dash in their fight against Dr. Eggman.
“Bringing Sonic and his friends into Fortnite gives generations of fans an exciting new way to experience these beloved characters together and serves as another major moment in Sonic’s 35th anniversary,” Takashi Iizuka, Sonic Creative Officer, Sega of America, Inc., tells Variety.
The “Override” season also includes classic video game mechanics, such as Cheat Codes and 1-Up Tokens.
