In a recent interaction on social media, gaming insider Nate the Hate was bluntly asked to leak the next 3D Sonic game. Nate didn’t do exactly that, but he responded by asking the user if they happened to like Sonic Frontiers. Naturally, many fans inferred that this meant that the newest Sonic game will potentially be that of Sonic Frontiers 2. And even if it’s not a direct sequel to Frontiers, it suggests that this new title will have a lot in common with its predecessor.
To hear that Sega’s next 3D Sonic game will be similar to Sonic Frontiers shouldn’t be much of a shock. While critics and players were a bit mixed on Frontiers, the game sold incredibly well for Sega. Since its launch in 2022, Sonic Frontiers has gone on to sell nearly five million copies around the globe. To put into context just how impressive this is, it means that Frontiers is one of the highest-selling Sonic games ever and only trails the likes of the original Sonic the Hedgehog and its sequel Sonic the Hedgehog 2.
