Sonic Superstars “Trio of Trouble” animated prologue released

Sonic Superstars is back with a new “Trio of Trouble” video, which acts as an animated prologue for the game.

The story sees Fang the Hunter escorting Dr. Eggman and his new helper Trip through a perilous ruin. He’ll need to “muster all his cunning to overcome past mistakes and escape the coils of a fierce new enemy.” Eggman also learns what may be the key to his next dastardly scheme.

Here’s some information about the game:

Adventure through the mystical Northstar Islands in this all-new take on classic 2D Sonic high-speed action platforming. Play as Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, and Amy Rose and harness all-new Emerald powers to move and attack in dynamic new ways.
