Sonic. Goes fast. Does loop de loops. Grabs rings. You get the gist. When Fortnite began teasing their upcoming \u201cGaming Legends\u201d season, the IP pit has hardly been subtle about the inclusion of Sega characters, including their most iconic needlehog. With the season\u2019s trailer online, we finally have a peek at what Sonic might be looking like packing heat.<\/p>\n
The live service megalith is no stranger to Saturday morning cartoons, real life superstars, Thomas Pynchon characters<\/a> and more. The newest update will take specific aim at video game icons. Speculation of which characters would be thrown into the battle royale has been simmering for over a week. Just a few days ago, Persona 5\u2019s Joker was confirmed to be entering the mix, though it would hardly be the first time the Phantom Thieves started blasting in someone else\u2019s games<\/a>.<\/p>\n Now with an official trailer, we get a peek at some of the familiar faces joining the party. In it, we get a glimpse at characters and cosmetics stemming from Crash Bandicoot, Spyro the Dragon, Mega Man, Mortal Kombat, Tetris, Pac-Man and Epic\u2019s own dormant cartoon mascot Jazz Jackrabbit. Above all, we see Sonic the Hedgehog, zipping through Green Hill Zone alongside Fortnite\u2019s default mug Jonesy.<\/p>\n The hedgehog has been a poorly kept secret. Ahead of Epic\u2019s official hype reel, Sonic\u2019s socials already started posting promos for a tie-in comic<\/a>, which features Shadow and Knuckles as well. Some have wondered how Sonic would look in the shooter, and Fortnite\u2019s answer is the same<\/a> as all their less-humanoid guests: Make them an abomination. Sonic\u2019s arms and legs are stretched proportionate to a human\u2019s, while his head remains a Macy\u2019s Day Parade balloon.<\/p>\n
