Sonic Frontiers' Final Horizon Launches Today With New Trailer and Screenshots

Looks good. Looking forward to getting back into Frontiers. Haven't played it since in came out last year.

Lol, Tails in a mech :V

Speaking of mechs, I love how Tails uses the Cyclone from Sonic Adventure 2. How does he summon that?

Also, while the update has not come out yet, considering how good they look, I dare say that they made Amy, Knuckles and Tails better than how they did Sonic himself.

Okay, whole thing looks SO cool! Can't wait for it to drop at 8PM EST!

I did notice a bit of pop-in, but I think that was expected at this point. Doesn't really take away from how much fun I had with the game regardless!

Looking forward to it, but also curious as to what I've gotta do to access the new content. Just go to just before the Knight boss, and wait for the update? Or is there new stuff across the entire game? Wish that was a bit clearer before starting my New Game+ save.

These characters have soul put into them. Am kinda hoping that the cyberspace effect on them goes away at some point in the game, but guess that's where mods will come in. I'm really interested in playing as Amy as her moveset looks really cool, Knuckles I think I'll have the most fun with as man it's great to play him again in a 3D Sonic game then Tails with the mech was a huge surprise I wasn't expecting nor did I know I needed.

Please let the other characters play well and be well received. I'd hate for Sega to get the wrong idea if they don't work and shaft them from the series for a long while (As implied by the original ending).

I haven't finished the game yet and this update makes me hype! I'm shocked the Cyclone returned for Tails and can't wait to play as Amy and Knuckles.

Of all the unexpected things from this update, I didn't think they'd bring back the Number Rings and Silver Moon Rings from Lost World and Forces. Despite this showing off a lot of stuff, there's still hardly any context for what all this pertains to - which has been a running trend throughout all of Frontiers' marketing for some reason. Though this time around, I'm at least not annoyed by it. Looking forward to booting it up again tonight.

For those still wondering, the update releases at 8 PM, Eastern time.

"New story – Head back to Ouranos Island and play through additional stories!"

Hmm...I'm curious if you can just go back to the island after finishing the game, and without starting New Game+, and still access the DLC stories. Probably not, considering it appears that they combined the final two islands (with the towers being present). Instead of reusing the 2nd half of the 1st island.

This is far and beyond the scope of what I was expecting them to do for this final update (even with the new story and playable characters).

Freakin' yes Sonic Team.

The islands are not combined, they just put towers on Ouranos. My understanding is that the DLC is a menu option you can choose. Hopefully there's some way to lead directly into it from the main campaign, but that's a nitpick.

We've shared those images on our social media account here:

I'll add them to the main story as well.

Might I ask where this was mentioned? 'Cause this is the first I'm hearing this, and if it's the case. I can see both endings coexisting, for those that liked the previous ending...despite it being a separate menu option, instead of being baked into the core game.

Actually, I didn't read close enough, it was an assertion picklebrows made here, but now that I look at it, I don't think it really implies what he's saying it does. Might still be true, probably should still be true, either way.

I have a feeling the "alternate ending" will be triggered by activating a new SAGE "side story" spot. Given where the cutscene in the trailer takes place it'll probably be around there.

In the trailer, 22 seconds in, under where the Numbered Rings from Sonic Lost World and the other Silver Moon Rings as someone called them, there seem to be three outlines that look like some of the animal friends Sonic had to rescue in Sonic games, like Lost World and the classics. They were the ones who popped out of badniks when Sonic destroyed them. Is it possible they may be coming back?

Tails summoning the cyclone is glorious.

I admit I find Amy the Witch funny but also charming and unique

More playable characters people!

Now if they were ambitious, they’d make the next game have a playable Shadow and Blaze.

Can you say another Sonic Adventure?!

This is a joke, by the way, don’t hurt me, please.

Actually, you probably could considering they have said they like the idea of a Sonic Adventure 3.

Whether it actually happens or not is to be seen. But never say never—I actually did that for Sonic 4 before it was announced, and you can already imagine the shock from that in hindsight.

I see. Here’s to hoping that the playable characters in this update are well received and we get them again and more playable characters in future Sonic games.

As someone playing Frontiers for the first time just now (and still only halfway through Ares), had the game launched with ALL this content at day one, it'd probably been for the better. Because God allmight does it gets repetitive quick, at least different characters with different skills, mobility and missions would ease the pain... Granted, if the original plan was to include the extra playable characters only at the final act, it would've been reaaaaally stupid... but since this is only happening now, I guess it's their call... would've been better to be able to play as Sonic and Amy since Kronos, Sonic and Knuckles since Ares and Sonic and Tails since Chaos tho'.

Guess at least we'll have a good idea of the next game... probably?

You know, for some semi-explainable reason, I do have to agree.

I just hope we don’t get playable characters added as updates again in the next game and that they are in the base game next time.

Also... man, wish they kept playable Eggman as a surprise playable character.

Or playable Super Sonic in the open zone.
