Sega and ReedPop have announced that the upcoming Sonic Frontiers will be playable for attendees at EGX London in September, ahead of the game's official release later in the year.
It will mark the first instance in which the game will be playable for the public in the UK. Previously, media outlets who attended Summer Game Fest 2022 back in June were able to get hands-on with the game in the US.
Here's the rundown from Sega and ReedPop:
"Experience the rush of Sonic Frontiers for the first time in the UK, only at EGX
Play Sonic Frontiers first hand this September before its release in late 2022!
25th July - London, UK - Today, SEGA and ReedPop are happy to announce that EGX attendees will be able to experience the upcoming addition to the iconic Sonic franchise Sonic Frontiers during EGX, from the 22nd - 25th of September at the ExCeL in London.
Sonic Frontiers is Sonic’s first ever open-zone-inspired gaming experience. Rush through expansive landscapes, accelerate to new heights and experience the thrill of using Sonic’s speed like never before.
Tickets for EGX can be bought by heading to the official website.
Just recently, it was reported that Sonic Frontiers received a rating in South Korea, which tends to be an indication that a release date may be on the cards in the near future. Sonic Team boss Takashi Iizuka previously reiterated that the team was happy with how development was going and confirmed a delay would not occur.

Wow I just need them to travel several thousand miles and bring it to the US now
That does mean people are allowed to record it right? Whatever the case I’m happy it can be in more peoples hands.
This reminds me of the time back in 2014, NintendoLife hosted a Smash Bros event before the release of the 3DS/Wii U game. In order to get a Smash Bros Dog tag, I was forced to play the demo of Rise of Lyric...
Should just release a demo on consoles so everyone can try it
What's holding Sega back from announcing a release date despite already being announced for holiday 2022? Is the game not finished and the team needs more time so it will actually be delayed to 2023? Has negative fan reception been so strong to actually will a delay? This is starting to get a little strange.
@Axecon
What’s holding them back from doing anything but written interviews and previews? They seem intent on drip feeding short videos, I wouldn’t be surprised if they try to stop video recording at this event like they did at summer games fest.
They should just release a demo so can at least try and review for ourselves. Sega keeps saying fans wouldn't get or doesn't need to delay well because concerned lets face it Sonic doesn't have good reputation since Sonic 06 yes there was good like generation and unleashed but got ones like Sonic forces. I'm concerned about this the movies are doing well but not so much the games.
I live in Ireland so this isn't of much if any benefit to me at all. A demo would be better though.
@Gamergirl94 I would highly disagree with Unleashed being good. Imagine having Shooter Levels based on Just apamming qtes for 20 minutes. Whoever came Up with that Design hopefully isnt allowed to make Games anymore.
@relinqued God, Unleashed SUCKED. The hub levels were almost unplayable as normal Sonic because once you leveled up his speed a bit he was so slippery it was almost unplayable. The Werehog stages were such a slog but at least he didn't move like he was on ice. Just horrible all around, yet people somehow claim it was good.
I don’t know why this popped into my head but switch the E and the G in EGX to get a surprise
