SEGA shared brand new screenshots from Sonic Forces today. The images provide a look at the customizable Hero Character utilizing the newly revealed Drill Wispon to destroy enemies and speed through the Chemical Plant.

Wispons evolve the concept of Color Powers from Sonic Colors and act as both offensive abilities and as a way to platform through levels quickly. You can equip your Hero Character with one of a variety of Wispons, including the Drill Wispon. This ability lets players drill dash on the ground to quickly traverse stages and climb walls. It can also be used to attack enemies by charging and launching a drill punch.

View the images below for a look at the Hero Character stage and the new Drill Wispon. We also have a new piece of art as well.

Battle Chasers: Nightwar was delayed on Switch, with the developer indicating that Unity was one reason for that. Yooka-Laylee also hasn’t made it onto the console yet with the engine also cited. Playtonic is waiting on Unity 5.6 to help address some “technical hurdles”.

For its part, Unity says that over 30% of games for Switch are made with the tech. The company is also working with Nintendo to optimize Unity for the platform.
