Sonic Frontiers 2 is reportedly currently in development at SEGA with the gameplay being a sequel to 2022’s Frontiers gameplay-wise.
That’s what known movie insider Daniel Richtman (DanielRPK) has said on Patreon yesterday. We’ve included the insider’s post on X as well as an image (via @ItsUnusuaI) from his post on Patreon below. Not only that, but this ‘info’ was also backed by known SEGA/Atlus leaker ‘Midori’ on X. In addition to claiming that Sega is working on a sequel to 2022’s Sonic Frontiers, ‘Midori’ has said that the game is a sequel to Frontiers when it comes to gameplay. Although for now dubbed Frontiers 2, this name might change as Frontiers was initially named ‘Rangers’ until it was announced.

For those who don’t know ‘Midori’ – many consider him among the best SEGA/Atlus leakers out there. Recently, he took to X to reveal additional details about new SEGA titles, stating that all of the new games will be coming to Nintendo’s unannounced next platform. The leaker also recently said that SEGA is working on a new Virtua Fighter entry. More recently, ‘Midori’ claimed that SEGA is working on a remake of 2003’s Sonic Heroes.
Would you be interested in Sonic Frontiers 2? Hit the comments below. Here’s what we wrote about the excellent first Frontiers in our launch review two years ago: “Where Sonic Frontiers attempts to do something entirely new is the gameplay, which is completely different from anything we have seen in the series so far. For the first time, Sonic the Hedgehog has gone completely open-world, as players control the blue hedgehog as he explores a few different islands that are filled with items to collect, simple puzzles to solve, and enemies to defeat. The experience that feels the closest to it is that of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, with some obvious streamlining in terms of combat and puzzles. Littered all over the islands are also the signature Rings, bumpers, rails, shuttle loops, and every other gameplay feature that has become synonymous with the series since its beginnings.”
