When Sega officially revealed Team Sonic Racing to the world last month, it did so with no gameplay footage, just a brief cinematic reveal trailer, which obviously left many fans of the kart racer chomping at the bit to see what it actually looks like.

While Sega still hasn’t produced any gameplay footage itself, journalist Laura Kate has delivered some. It’s only a mere 43 seconds, but it’s better than nothing.
Despite only being 43 seconds, the footage reveals raw gameplay footage, and thus provides a good idea of what the actual game will play like. In it, not only do we see Sonic racing in his handy blue racer and the game’s pleasant-looking visuals, but we see a bit of the gameplay systems, such as ultimates, which are special moves racers can unleash during a race.
Being developed by Snake Pass and Crackdown 3 developer Sumo Digital, Team Sonic Racing is in development for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PC, and Nintendo Switch. It’s currently poised to release sometime this winter.
