Celebrate Sonic’s Birthday Bash in the Second Sonic Frontiers DLC Update!
The June 2023 Sonic Central presentation gave fans a closer look at the second Sonic Frontiers DLC update, which is all about Sonic’s Birthday! The new information shared in the presentation offered a look at the new content fans will be able to experience in the Starfall Islands.
The major update is an overhaul of the aesthetic of the Starfall Islands to celebrate Sonic’s 32nd birthday! In addition to a new birthday outfit Sonic will be able to equip, various parts of the Starfall Islands will be changed to a party-themed aesthetic, with bright colors, confetti, and present-like platforms.
In addition, the Sonic Frontiers DLC will add even more new challenge modes across the Starfall Islands, including what appears to be a mode that sees players try and break their record in combos, speed, and traversal of the world. There will be new moves added to Sonic’s arsenal as well, most notably the spin dash.
New types of Koco will be collectable in the Sonic Frontiers DLC update and appear to be quite large. Also, a New Game+ mode will be added to the game in this new update, allowing players to experience Sonic Frontiers once more with their abilities and collectibles carried over to a new save file.
The final wave of Sonic Frontiers DLC is expected to arrive later this year. The first wave was released earlier this year.
Sonic Frontiers is available now on PC, Nintendo Switch, PS4/5, and Xbox S/X.
