Sonic Frontiers launched in 2022 to solid reviews on PlayStation 4 and PC. The other versions of the game didn't perform as well due to technical and control issues. In ComicBook.com's review of the PS4 version, we said the team "has clearly put a lot of thought and care into crafting this new direction for the series, and the results are impressive." After it was met with solid sales, it was announced that Sonic Frontiers would get further content via the Final Horizon DLC. Now, a new rumor is going around that Sonic Team is hard at work on a sequel to the open-world, 3D platformer. The original rumor was posted by DanielRPK on Twitter and Patreon. Generally, they're seen as a relatively reliable source, though their track record is far from perfect. However, after fans noticed the original rumor, they took to Twitter to ask another leaker about the validity. Thankfully for fans of Sonic Frontiers, the original post has been confirmed by Midori on Twitter, further adding to the credibility of this leak. Of course, that doesn't mean you shouldn't take this with a massive grain of salt until something is announced. With DanielRPK and Midori both saying it's legitimate, there's definitely something here, but things change during development all the time. In fact, Midori said as much in their tweet confirmed the original report. Midori claims "The title is a sequel to Frontiers in gameplay style. But the name might change. Frontiers was Rangers until it was announced." To that end, don't be surprised if something named Sonic Frontiers 2 is never released. Instead, Team Sonic is obviously excited by the Frontiers formula and is currently looking for new ways to use it. What that ultimately becomes isn't known yet, but the open-world gameplay is seemingly making a comeback in some respect in a future release.
