Minecraft gets official Sonic DLC for its 30th anniversary and it will keep you running endlessly

The Sonic x Minecraft DLC that arriv𓆏ed today in celebration of the speedy hedgehog's 30th anniversary is much more than a bundle of anthropomorphic animal sk♛ins.

The , which was created by Minecraft Marketplaceꦇ studio Gamemode One, lets you dash through procedurally generated maps inspired by Sonic favorites including Green Hill Zone, Chemical Plant Zone and more: the long level tracks use special new skins as well as items to r𝔍ecreate a surprising swathe of the Sonic experience, including collecting rings, bopping robots, leaping gaps, and boosting through loop-de-loops.

The DLC comes complete with playable versions of Sonic's friends, each of whom comes correct with their own special abilities: Knuckles glides, Amy smacks things with her giant mallet, Shadow, um, has a motorcycle, and so on. It looks like there are even adorable Chaos to befriend. I'm not gonna stand here and tell you that the best 3D Sonic game in years is Minecraft DLC, I'm just gonna say that there's a chance and we should consider it.

Even if you don't pick up the Sonic x Minecraft DLC, you'll be able to unlock a f🀅ree Sonic the Hedgehog Character Creator item by joining in on a special server event hosted by The Hive. The two-week special event "starting soon" will also let you try out some new minigames to ♑celebrate Sonic's big 3-0.

Meanwhile, Sega has big plans for Sonic experiences that are proper games for their own. The boss of Sonic Team is hoping that the next Sonic game will 'lay the foundation' for following titles, much the same way Sonic Adventure set a course for Sonic in the decades to follow. Speaking of which, a 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:new trailer for Sonic Colors: Ultimate shows off how the remake of the 2010 adventure ♏makes the mo🍬st of the game's mixed formats when it launches in September.

I got a BA in journalism from Central Michigan University - though the best education I received there was from CM Life, its stu𒁏dent-run newspaper. Long before that, I started pursuing my degree in video games by bugging my older brother to let me play Zelda on the Super Nintendo. I've previously been a news intern for GameSpot, a news writer for CVG, and now I'm a staff writer here at GamesRadar.
