What we can recognise from the trailers and demo is that Dr. Eggman obviously screwed with time. Either caused by the Time Eater who may have taken a bite from beyond Modern era before it's demise, or as evident in Sonic '06, alternate ways of time travel such as Chaos Control with more than one emerald or the Solaris Project which had a built in time machine that Eggman used. So it could be possible Dr. Eggman could of constructed a brand new chaos powered time machine.

As much as I hope Sonic Forces will conclude what happened in Sonic CD and Sonic 4, as well as how cool it would be if the Time Stones were brought back and needed to restore the default timeline, I'm trying to think practical on what Sonic Team would have for the games story and chances are they would go with brand new concepts that would keep the story simple to follow than old concepts. Such as Dr. Eggman building that chaos powered time machine. Gotta be reasonable. Sonic Team usually establish the games in stand-alone format so they have as little influence on each other as possible. That way, they can get away with more, including a timeline.
