[Update]: Spark the Electric Jester 3 has now made its way onto Steam alongside a mostly positive reception.

If you've found yourself disappointed with the recently unveiled Sonic Frontiers gameplay, you might want to give the upcoming Spark the Electric Jester 3 a look. To put it quite simply, it's a fast paced action-platformer heavily inspired by some of the more popular 3D Sonic games like Sonic Adventure. Expect to see plenty of rails hoisted over gigantic drops, levels that reward you for going through them as quickly as possible, a variety of shiny gems to collect, and as is tradition, a fair few loop-de-loops to help spice everything up!

Since words alone tend to fare pretty poorly at describing these types of platformers, allow me to instead share with you the recently posted trailer for the Pacific Abyss level. Have a gander, it's a rather solid one:

The good news doesn't end there, however, as Spark the Electric Jester 3 also has a decently lengthy demo available. So if you're in the mood for going insanely fast and slamming head-first into walls, or simply curious about what Spark the Electric Jester 3 even has to offer, I'd highly recommend checking it out on Steam.

As for the release date and launch platforms, nothing has been announced just yet. That said, given that Spark the Electric Jester 2 landed onto both PC and Xbox One, I can only imagine the sequel will follow in the same footsteps.

Whatever the case may be, you can keep an eye on any future updates over at the official website. Have fun with the demo!
