Trailer reveals Nights, AiAi, Tangle & Whisper.

The last two characters are from the current Sonic IDW comic.
An early datamine found references to whisper, so it's not a complete surprise, but it's highly unusual for Sega to include any characters from the western comics. Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine might be the last real game. One of those infinite runner type games on mobile devices includes some afaik.

They are regular characters in the comic, had a 5 issue special series and the shipper trash are all over them, obviously.

This thing of include comic characters will bite them back later lmao
Also Tangle herself is uninspiring. Shes basically a female version of Sonic, but more energetic.
Whisper is an almost silent ultra boring character that basically relies on drama.

Afaik Sega owns all the rights to characters, designs and stories in the current IDW run. The Ken Penders situation won't happen again. Sega learned its lesson.
They are a safe pick, personally I would have preferred Sticks the Badger, a character from a more civilized time when we could still laugh at paranoid schizophrenics.
Now trauma is the new hotness and we get Whisper.

Sega, please stop using the new version of Nights and use the OG Saturn version design.

Comic characters? Okay not the Archie ones. Interesting to use comic characters.
