Today in sentences you never thought you’d read in 2024: Sonic spin-off Knuckles contains anAlan Wake 2-style rock opera.
From drafting in a member of The Lonely Island to getting in touch with American musical icon Michael Bolton, there were plenty of moving parts in play before the rock opera – which recounts Knuckles’ past via the medium of song – come to life.
“So that created a nice box for us to figure out how to do something unique in the series that was slightly different.
