Sonic V Devlog: A bit more on Tails

Now that you know what Tails will look like in the game, let's shed a little more light on what we're actually planning for his role to be in the game.

Although not technically playable as a separate character, Tails is inextricably linked to both the gameplay and the story - in fact, the only planned character option in the game is Sonic and Tails together.

As in Tails Adventure, V's Tails relies much more on his skills as a mechanic, using an early Miles Electric prototype to project warning signs onto boss arenas and provide a map of areas visited, lighting up dark areas, as well as carrying a now much wider range of collectibles in his new backpack.

All this arsenal comes at the cost of extra weight, however, and Tails is no longer able to lift Sonic upwards. He's still happy to at least slow down his falls, though, and we have more combo moves planned via upgrades to Tails himself!

That concludes today's post! See you soon for more updates!
