Rumblings of a follow-up to SEGA's Sonic Frontiers are currently doing the rounds. Referred to simply as Sonic Frontiers 2, a couple of known leakers have said the project is currently in development.
First, X user Daniel Richtman shared a post with his Patreon followers claiming the open zone platformer sequel is in the works. Shortly after, another insider, Midori, corroborated the rumour, simply stating that it's "correct information". They followed this up with slightly more context, saying the game is a sequel "in gameplay style", and may not necessarily be called Frontiers 2.
Both sources are apparently well-known for being reliable, so Sonic fans seemingly have something to get excited about here. It would also make perfect sense for Sonic Team to build upon what it achieved with Sonic Frontiers, as it was largely well-received and sold over 2.5 million copies in its first month alone. The original came out at the tail end of 2022, so presumably, work is well underway on the next entry.
Would you like to see Sonic Frontiers 2, or a follow-up to that formula in the next Sonic game? Zoom into the comments section below.

Actually yes. I quite enjoyed Frontiers and particularly appreciated the challenging towers of Rhea Island. It's a great compromise between open world and classic Sonic that I believe would benefit from further forays in this genre.
Oooooohhh awesome.
I loved Frontiers it’s probably one of my favourite Sonic games.
Still have yet to go through Final Horizon story content which I probably will do when I upgrade to PS5 version, beat the last boss again and get to new game plus.
Hope Sega adds more Sonic characters including Shadow, some Egg man bosses, more guardians and titan boss fights to a sequel
Looking forward to Frontiers 1 coming to Plus eventually.
Looking forward to it. Hopefully a more colorful Sonic world this time.
More open world levels
More variety in cyber space
Better controls
Back to ''classic'' Sonic music and not the screeching semi hard-core that Frontiers had
That's not much to ask, right? Haha
Frontiers was decent, but nothing really remarkable either.
Sonic team making a sequel to the only Sonic game in recent memory that sold well.
Day 1 for me. Loved Frontiers. It was my favorite Sonic game to play by a decent margin (yes, over the original games and Mania). The game is just such absolute fun. While there were games I liked more in 2022, Frontiers is one of the games I think back on from that year that I may have underrated, even if I rated it relatively highly. Every time I go back to it, I have a great time. The gameplay is just so good.
I really hope so. Frontiers may have had flaws but I really had a lot of fun running through the open areas. If they improve upon that it could be an amazing game
Man, I hope the OST goes as hard as the first one did
It sold relatively well, didn't seem like the budget was super high, and even if a bit polarising has a dedicated fan base. I'd be amazed if there wasn't a sequel well underway.
Looking forward to this one! Sonic Frontiers was a strong start, and I'll be happy to see what they've got coming next.
Looking forward to it Frontiers had some hiccups but it was a great foundation for something that could be truly amazing ^__^
I'm hoping for a ps plus release soon. I slept on this when it first came out, but people really seem to love it and I've heard very good things about the soundtrack in particular
@CielloArc
Yeah I loved the ost for Frontiers especially Big’s fishing mini game
Awesome! I love Frontiers myself so I will absolutely be checking this out. Hopefully they dramatically improve the pop-in. That was my biggest issue with the original. Other than that I had a great time.
I still haven't tried this out, but plan on doing so when I see it dirt cheap. I'm not surprised they're moving to sequel town, the first one sold well and they clearly spent a lot of time on the first, so it makes sense to iterate on it rather than reinvent again so soon.
I mean it was already confirmed a few years back that the next main Sonic game would continue with the open-world, should Frontiers be a success (sales-wise), so this is no surprise. Can’t say I’m all that excited though. Frontiers’ gameplay itself was fine imo, but the open-world design was a swing-and-miss.
Really looking forward to this. As others have said the first game laid some solid foundations so if they can build on that and tweak a few things they're on to a winner
Meh, hated the original so seems like Sonic isn't for me anymore.
It wasn't perfect but I really enjoyed Frontiers. Definitely brought back a lot of what made Sonic games feel good in the day, it just needs to not feel as empty next time. I'd buy a sequel.
Loved Frontiers. I’ll be looking forward to more details on this. Cautiously hopeful it’s as good as the first game.
I thought Frontiers was brilliant, and a fun platinum as well for those who care about that sort of thing.
I really hope so. Frontiers is what all future Sonic titles should build on.
As long as it doesn't look like Zelda again and has levels that look more like Sonic's environment
Yep. My mate told me about this a few months ago.
