Sega is preparing a successor to Sonic Frontiers — insider

The successor to Sonic Frontiers could be officially revealed in 2026. Rumors suggest that Sega has been actively developing a follow-up to the latest mainline Sonic entry for over four years.

The blue blur’s next adventure might make its debut at major seasonal showcases, such as Summer Game Fest, Opening Night Live, or The Game Awards.

Industry insider Nate the Hate clarified that a firm launch window has not yet been locked in. If the title is slated for 2027, it will likely go head-to-head with Mario once again—a scenario similar to when Sonic Superstars faced tough commercial competition from Super Mario Bros. Wonder.

Sonic remains a cornerstone franchise for Sega, and the company is banking on this new project to sustain the brand’s global appeal and potentially shatter previous sales records. Currently, there is no official word on target platforms, a specific release date, or core gameplay features.
