About Sonic Frontiers
Sonic Frontiers sends Sonic to the Starfall Islands, a chain of five massive open zones filled with ancient ruins and robotic enemies. Players race across the terrain, uncover hidden secrets, and confront hordes using a new combat system that blends dodges, parries, counters, combos and a Cyloop ability.
The package also includes the Final Horizon campaign, letting you play as Tails, Amy and Knuckles, each described with unique abilities and fighting styles. Bonus challenges, costumes, music and other content from the Sonic’s Birthday Bash and Sights, Sound, and Speed updates are bundled as well.

Combat System
Frontiers features an action‑packed combat system that mixes dodges, parries, counters and combos, supported by a skill‑tree upgrade path. The Cyloop ability is highlighted for taking down larger foes.
The system encourages chaining moves and adapting to enemy behavior, offering more strategic fighting than simple platform attacks.
