Sonic Frontiers Gets A New Trailer For 'Final Horizon' Story DLC Update

Launching later this month

by Liam Doolan Wed 13th Sep 2023

If September wasn't already busy enough, Sega is also releasing the final DLC for its open-zone adventure Sonic Frontiers.

In this final free update, players can look forward to brand new story content featuring Sonic friends, along with some new playable characters as well as new challenges to take on. As part of this, the team has now released a new trailer.

If you've not kept up with these free updates, Sega has previously released multiple patches for Sonic Frontiers. Back in June, Sonic also got a special Birthday Bash DLC update - adding the Spin Dash, new Koco, new game + and much more. You can learn more in our previous coverage here on Nintendo Life:

Will you be revisiting Sonic Frontiers on 28th September to try out this final DLC for the game? Let us know in the comments.

The fact that SEGA showed off a story trailer for the DLC first tells me once more that this game really only gets so much praise by the fanbase because the story and characters are well written. Well, well written for Sonic standards. A lot of modern games are more story than game. I sometimes ask myself why some games such as Sonic, Uncharted, Life is Strange, or The Last of Us are not films from begin with.

Would it be cool if we could play as Sage? We probably can’t but it would be awesome! I can’t wait for this!

Sonic, Uncharted, Life is Strange, or The Last of Us

One of these things is not like the others, one of these things just doesn't belong....

@Primarina The trailer does seem to tease it! I really hope she is, it would be fantastic!

Same, only a while longer, and it will finally be in our hands!
Aw it’s alright, it’s their opinion and all and I still love the game regardless, and I still think it’s one of the best sonic games since generations, Despite its issues. That and I’m happy to finally get to play Amy tails and knuckles in a modern sonic game!

I'm concerned by the fact that there's still no gameplay footage, but it's a free update, and the game was already really good! So anything extra is a bonus!

Story teaser kinda gives off 'alternate ending' vibes imo. A little excited.
Still waiting for gameplay though.

Free is good. I recently bought this game on sale ($32 - odd amount but decent price). I'll have to check it out. Is the Birthday Bash DLC still available?
