Sonic Frontiers Sights, Sounds, and Speed Update Adds Challenge Modes and More This Week
Sega has announced that the Sights, Sounds, and Speed update will come to Sonic Frontiers on PlayStation, Xbox, and Nintendo Switch on March 22.
The first of three content updates for the game will add new Challenge modes, a photo mode, and a Jukebox for players to listen to their favourite Sonic tracks.
The new Challenge modes include the Cyber Space Challenge and Battle Rush and can be accessed after completing the main story. The former is a time trial mode where players race through multiple Cyber Space stages in a row, while the latter is a timed battle mode where players fight several enemies and bosses in a row.
A photo mode is also being added to the game, letting players capture and edit screenshots of their Sonic adventures, while the Jukebox lets players listen to 53 songs released through new Sound Memories collectibles spread across the islands.
Sonic Frontiers launched in November last year and had sold 2.5 million copies as of December 13. Sega revealed its 2023 content roadmap around the same time, confirming that Update 2 will celebrate Sonic's birthday by adding an Open Zone Challenge and new Koco. The final update of 2023 will even add a new character and story content.
In our 7/10 review, IGN said: "Sonic Frontiers is an ambitious open-world adventure that mostly succeeds at mixing up the Sonic formula, even when some of its ideas fall flat."
