During Gamescom Opening Night Live 2023, Geoff Keighley and Sega revealed Sonic Superstars‘ release date and Sonic Frontiers‘ newest story expansion, The Final Horizon.
On September 28, The Final Horizon update brings a new story where you can play Sonic, Knuckles, Tails, and Amy. Nothing else was revealed today at Gamescom, but the trailer showcases Sonic again collecting the Chaos Emeralds and becoming Super Sonic.
Sega confirmed that the expansion will be free for players and that it will launch on September 28, 2023.
In my Sonic Frontiers review, I said, “Sonic Frontiers is not what I ever expected for Sonic the Hedgehog. Sega pulled a risky bet by throwing the book at the wall and seeing what sticks, but that move seems to pay off. Please make no mistake; Sonic Frontiers is a fresh take on a series that has tried everything; it’s a Sonic 3D title with impeccable handling and mechanics. While the story may not resonate with everyone, I enjoyed it. It does so many things right that the problems, especially around the camera, aren’t enough to spoil the experience.”
