The final content update for Sonic Frontiers is now available on PS5 and PS4, allowing players to control Amy, Knuckles, and Tails in a new narrative leading up to the final battle on Ouranos Island. The update, called The Final Horizon, introduces new abilities and mechanics for the characters and can be accessed through a portal on the island. This is the last free update for Sonic Frontiers, with a separate game called Sonic Superstars set to release next month on PS5 and PS4.
The launch trailer for Sonic Origins Plus features Amy stealing the show with her Super State transformation, which is triggered by harnessing the positive power of the seven Chaos Emeralds. The physical manifestation of the transformation is similar to the concept of a Super Saiyan from Dragon Ball Z, leading to confusion about which came first. The Super State has been achieved by numerous characters in connected media appearances, but it will be a nostalgic trip to gather the classic Chaos Emeralds again as someone new.
Sonic Origins Plus, a new collection of Sonic the Hedgehog games, has received criticism from fans for various issues, including the lack of a redesigned sprite for Amy's 'Super' form, the character select screen, and the sound quality of the Game Gear titles. Despite these complaints, it remains to be seen whether the game will be a disaster or not when it launches later this week.
In "The Drama of Original Choice", the eighth episode of Beef, Danny frames Amy for burning down his own house, hoping to claim insurance money. The episode also explores the backstory of both characters, revealing Amy's parental neglect and Danny's history of bullying and dependency on Paul. The episode ends with Danny knocking out George and fleeing with Junie in the back seat of his car.
Sonic Origins Plus, an upgrade to last year's Sonic Origins, adds all 12 Sonic Game Gear games to the virtual museum, Amy as a playable character in Sonic 1, 2, 3 & Knuckles, and Sonic CD, and Knuckles as a playable character in Sonic CD. The upgrade also includes all the features of Sonic Origins, such as Classic Mode, Anniversary Mode, and widescreen support. Sonic Origins Plus will be available on multiple platforms on June 23 for $40, or $10 for those who already own Sonic Origins.
Rumors suggest that Sonic Origins Plus, a bundle including all 12 Game Gear Sonic games and playable Amy, may be released on Sonic's birthday, June 23rd, 2023, with a $9.99 digital upgrade or a $39.99 physical and digital bundle. The package also includes Knuckles as a playable character in Sonic CD, all previously released Sonic Origins DLC, a 20-page artbook (physical exclusive), and a reversible coversheet with new art (physical exclusive).
