Sonic Frontiers is not the only game getting new content today. And as for “new game+,” it’s unclear whether there will be any changes to the game other than the ability to retain upgrades from a previous playthrough. Eagle-eyed fans might be able to spot some cheeky references with some of these, such as one Koco wearing Sonic’s sword Caliburn from Sonic and the Black Knight. The “new collectable Koco” appear to be sporting a wide variety of cute hats and other accessories. Its implementation does seem similar to its appearance in Sonic Lost World, with a greater emphasis on sheer speed rather than its more momentum-based physics in the Sonic Adventure games, though this will obviously be made clear once the update is released. While there were a couple different “new moves” shown, the clear headliner is the return of the spin dash, making its first appearance in a 3D Sonic game since 2013’s Sonic Lost World, as had been teased months prior. In terms of distinct new content, the trailer for the DLC delineates it as “new challenges, new modes, new collectable Koco, new game+.” The “new challenges” are not made specifically clear, but based on gameplay footage shown, it looks like this might include island-wide time attack i.e., time attack including the game’s open-zone sections and not just the linear cyberspace levels.

Keeping with this theme, the gameplay shown from the new Sonic Frontiers content shows the game thoroughly decked out with celebratory decorations, including party costumes for Sonic and the Koco, floating presents and balloons, ribbon-wrapped platforms and grind rails, and even a snazzy recolored UI. The livestream, and the update itself, are themed around “Sonic’s birthday,” as the first Sonic the Hedgehog game released 32 years ago today on June 23, 1991. In a livestreamed Sonic Central presentation, Sega revealed that the next wave of free DLC for Sonic Frontiers will be releasing later today, along with some other Sonic-related announcements.
