Among many other free updates
Sonic Frontierssplit opinion like most Sonic games do when it released earlier this year. Even Ed in ourSonic Frontiers reviewwas split between finding it fun and frustrating.
New modes, new Koco, new…playable characters!? More Sonic Frontiers content coming your way next year!pic.twitter.com/MoZ8Gtj4Ro
Update 3 is the most interesting of the bunch, as it will add new story missions and four new playable characters. Those characters are Tails, Knuckles, Amy and [opens Sonic wiki] Sage, an AI girl created by Dr. Eggman and first introduced as a non-playable character in Sonic Frontiers.
Sega confirmed in afollowup tweetthat the updates were “all free btw”.
I’ve not played Frontiers, but Ed’s review did note that it was “a great foundation for a sequel,” as it had potential “which only needs a bit of fine-tuning to get Sonic from simple to super.” Perhaps these free updates will provide that fine-tuning rather than a sequel.
