SEGA brought Sonic back to life in the newest installment of the long-standing series Sonic Frontiers. After the release on November 8, 2023, the game received a positive reception from the fans as Sonic Frontiers’ ratings were overwhelmingly positive on Steam. The developers are uncomfortable with complacency, which is why the official content roadmap is coming for the upcoming year.Â
SEGA released the 2023 roadmap stating that the game will receive three massive updates throughout the year. The first update will be the addition of a Juke Box feature. This feature will allow the players to freely choose the music that they will hear in-game. In addition, the first update will add a Photo Mode and additional Challenge Modes to choose from.Â
The second update in 2023 is dedicated to Sonic’s birthday, but its celebration regarding the game remains to be unclear. However, the mystery behind it makes the fans feel excited as to what the birthday celebration will bring to the game. The franchise’s birthday is in June so that narrows down the possibilities regarding the update’s arrival. The update will also have more Open Zone Challenges and more Koko to collect other than Sonic’s birthday.Â
The Third Update
The third update will be the biggest one of them all. The final update for the game will introduce new playable characters and a story expansion to boot. While the story expansion details remain a mystery, the roadmap shows images of Tails, Amy, Sage, and Knuckles. So, the story might revolve around these characters. If you are a big fan of Sonic games, there is no better time to be alive than 2023.Â
For additional details regarding the updates coming in 2023, we just have to wait until SEGA decides to release more information or just wait until the updates roll out. In the meantime, let’s talk about Sonic Frontiers and what it brings to the table for those who are still undecided about buying the game.Â
As stated earlier, Sonic Frontiers is the latest addition to the Sonic game library. The game is available on Playstation 5, Playstation 4, Nintendo Switch, Xbox Series X, Xbox One, and Steam.Â
What is Sonic Frontiers?
Sonic Frontiers is a single-player open-world action-adventure game. In search of the missing Chaos emeralds, Sonic becomes stranded on an ancient island teeming with unusual creatures. The game offers the thrill of high-velocity open zone platforming freedom as you race across the five massive Starfall Islands.Â
Just like any other open-world game, Sonic Frontiers gives you the freedom to do what you want with side quests readily available if you want to do something else besides the main storyline. There are also game modes to choose from to make sure that you will never get bored with repetitive action.Â
Sonic Frontiers boasts an all-new battle system and skill tree upgrades to fully customize your fighting style. There are combinations of moves to employ in your fight against mysterious foes and colossal titans. The addition of the new Cyloop ability will spice up your combat against your enemies. You can buy Sonic Frontiers across all gaming platforms at the price of $59.99
