Sonic the Hedgehog made sure to show up at Gamescom 2023, and with that came a treat for those who boughtSonic Frontiers. A short teaser trailer for an update called “The Final Horizon” was unveiled, promising new story, new playable characters, and new challenges.
The trailer itself isn’t terribly illuminating on its own. We see a giant robot looking down on Sonic and friends, which goads Sonic into taking out some Chaos Emeralds. As a hedgehog naturally does, he goes Super Sonic shortly after, and the teaser ends. This might mean something to those who playedSonic Frontiers, I just didn’t join Destructoid fast enough to cover it. That said, I know that Super Sonic always warrants celebration, so I’m excited for that!
Though details on The Final Horizon remain scarce, we do know it will release for free. WhileSonic Frontiersremains a somewhat divisive game, I’m happy that fans of the title will get a nice bonus for their loyalty. I’ll be plenty curious to see how this update pans out when it launches on September 28.
