Sonic's foray into the "open-zone", Sonic Frontiers, is due out at the end of this year, and while many of us wait for a concrete release, others are eagerly seeking out info about the upcoming 3D Sonic game, which initially had a bit of a mixed reaction from fans.
On the GamingLeaksAndRumours subreddit, user FahdaadTD has shared a listing for the game on a Taiwan Kuji shop (thanks VGC!). Shopee's listing shows what looks to be promotional material for the game, which lists a potential release date of 15th November — a different date to what was found on Steam last month — along with what may well be DLC.
The promotional material also shows off some cute little creatures that we'll likely be meeting in-game, as well as a few familiar faces, but there are no details about what the DLC might be bringing.
Along with some returning friends, it looks like there's a new face hiding in the background of some of the game's promotional art, too. Sega hasn't corroborated anything in the image, however, so we'll have to wait and see if this is all official.
We might not have to wait that long for Sonic Frontiers news. The game will be making an appearance during Opening Night Live at Gamescom next week. The show starts at 7:00 pm BST on 23rd August, so be sure to tune in if you want to see more Sonic Frontiers.
Will you be grabbing the DLC if it's official? Are you excited about Sonic Frontiers? Let us know in the comments!

Not a chance of anything beyond what they did for Forces they didn’t even do any for Team Sonic Racing despite how barebones and seeming built for DLC it seemed, the DLC packs they made for Unleashed were fairly substantial and had some very experimental level design but I guess they didn’t sell that well.
Whether I buy the DLC or not depends what it has to offer. If you can play as other characters like Tails Shadow and Knuckles then definitely.
If the games good. Fun, and the dlc just add to that. Then heck yeah!
That is an insta-nope for me. Taking out in game unlocks to sell months before the game even releases? Never.
Sega sure as heck doesn't warrant that leeway. They are one of the worst developers currently still coding. No talent hacks.
Dang...
DLC announcement before the game even released?
Let's just bring the game out first.

With Forces they attempted to make Super Sonic paid DLC but relented after backlash but this didn’t stop them with Colors Ultimate ($5 to have the Planet Wisp music remixed like the rest of the game) and Sonic Origins (hard mode options and a host of things some exec clearly cherry-picked to hide behind a paywall), given all this it wouldn’t surprise me if they make the control/physics options we’ve heard about DLC like a Expert Options Pack and these paid options magically make the game feel a lot better to play.
I don't like this direction of that why can't just release finished game why does it have to be with DLCs unless its something useful in DLC other than that not interested how about just focus on releasing game first instead talking about DLCs.
The game doesn’t have a release date and they are planning dlc. Why can’t games just be complete out of the box anymore.
Sega has plans for DLC before game released, but when Nintendo has the same intentions with their titles such as Xenoblade Chronicles 3 and Splatoon 3, paid DLC at that, they get a pass. I expected nothing less.
@AlexanderDaniels That's why they are called Expansion Pass, of course they got a pass. A DLC is not a pass. An Expansion Pass is nothing like DLC and is nothing new, games like Doom had expansion pass all the time.
DLC before the game releases is weird. Makes me want the game less.
@Mauzuri There is no limits and anything less than last quarter isn't acceptable.
