Following the worldwide launch of Sonic Frontiers, and the release of the free Monster Hunter collaboration pack earlier this month, today, SEGA revealed plans for even more free content coming to the game.
The title’s 2023 content roadmap details plans for a series of future content updates to the new open-zone, action-packed adventure. These three content updates will include new features, modes, character skins, and more. All three updates will be free to all Sonic Frontiers owners. These exciting new additions to the game can be seen below:
Details on the exact release timing and specifics about the content of each update will be revealed at a later date.
Prior to these upcoming updates, on December 21, Sonic Frontiers players can download the free Holiday Cheer Suit DLC, which offers new apparel for Sonic to wear and bring some holiday spirit to the Starfall Islands.
And, SEGA just recently published the second episode of Sonic Frontiers Speed Strats, offering insights into the key items players need to collect to progress the game, as well as some tips and tricks for Big the Cat’s fishing minigame.
Check out the latest episode of Sonic Frontiers Speed Strats here, and see below for a breakdown of the topics discussed in the second episode:
Memory Tokens - To save Sonic’s friends from being permanently trapped in Cyber Space, players must collect unique Memory Tokens that represent each of Sonic’s friends throughout the Starfall Islands via exploration, combat, and the new Cyloop ability. Not only will Memory Tokens help players uncover more of the island's mysteries, but the tokens also reveal side events that add to the overall story.
Portal Gears - Players will need Portal Gears to access the Cyber Space Portals found throughout the open-zone areas. Some portals may need more than one Portal Gear to unlock the stage, so defeat Guardians around the islands to gather more.
Vault Keys - Sonic needs to harness the power of the Chaos Emeralds in order to fight the colossal Titans as Super Sonic. Players can collect Chaos Emerald Vault Keys by completing several missions in each Cyber Space level and exploring the open-zone areas in order to unlock the emeralds from their respective vaults. After completing all of a level’s missions, players will receive three additional keys - making seven in total from one level.
Treasure Chests - When players discover a marker with a blue Treasure Chest icon, they can use Cyloop around the marker to find and collect coveted items such as Memory Tokens, Portal Gears, or even Vault Keys.
Fishing - Players can go fishing with Big the Cat in Cyber Space to catch fish and earn Treasure Tokens to redeem key collectibles like Memory Tokens, Portal Gears, Vault Keys, and more. These Fishing Spots are found by entering Purple Portals in the open-zone areas. Be sure to gather Purple Coins throughout the island, which can be exchanged for additional fishing turns. The shop even has items to upgrade Sonic, such as lost Koco, Red Seeds of Attack, Blue Seeds of Defense, and Skill Points.
Egg Memos - To learn more details about the Starfall Islands and its mysteries, players can use Treasure Tokens to buy Egg Memos holding information in Big’s shop. These mysterious voice clips from Dr. Eggman can be accessed in the Voice Logs section of the Fish-o-pedia.
Sonic Frontiers is available now starting at $59.99 USD across PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, the Nintendo Switch family of systems, and Steam.
