Sonic Leaks, Rumours & Speculation

[wise chasm]

This dude's been on a streak going around tweeting "everything is fine, we're working on stuff please please please we're just a bit lean!!!!!!"

[grand cobalt]

4 likes nobody gaf 😭

[cunning echo]

Who is that

[cunning echo]

Ahh

Coolio

[smoky summit]

Why is sega throwing money at this

Aside from the odd PC game this is like the most irrelevant event to them

[wise chasm]

You're right, they should actually not throw money at anything anymore

Hoard, not invest

[smoky summit]

Also

I gotta call this out

I noticed that the person had to put a disclaimer in their bio that they are not a generative ai engineer

1- im pretty sure generative ai pertains to everything the likes of chatgpt does (text, code, image, video), not just the latter 2

[stiff salmon]

there's two different kinds

actually

[smoky summit]

I know people wanna distinguish it such that generative ai only refers to image and video

[wise chasm]

Ok, but there's still non-generative AI

[stiff salmon]

^^

[wise chasm]

Stuff like automated lipsync in games based on voicelines is considered AI

[smoky summit]

The underlying systems are largely the same

Is what im trying to say

[wise chasm]

Damn, guess FF7 Remake should've been boycotted then since that game used the system I described

[smoky summit]

Well that's the thing

The boycotting is only a concern for image and video generation

Not anything else

Not AI image upscalers

Not code generators

And certainly not text generation

[dusty osprey]

Code generators are imploding i dunno if you need to boycott that

[smoky summit]

Even though technically all of those are/can be trained on the same stolen data

[wise chasm]

That last one is not true, people called out the teams for using machine translations and even placeholder text

[smoky summit]

They are not imploding for whoever it matters to

It's simply a virtuous cycle that is too convenient to be gone now

Open ai fails? It'll be replaced quickly

[smoky summit]

Oh true I forgot about AI voice and translation

I think yes, I see the pattern

It's an issue when it's very apparent that it's taking away jobs

Tho in some cases, I imagine those products may have not had voice acting or translations to those languages to begin with without ai

Which is the ironic part

And maybe that is the correct approach

[lunar trench]

Ai is such a dumb term istg, cuz technically if a robot can sort a pink and a black marble it is technically ai too but these two things have nothinf in common

[smoky summit]

Oh oh

And the real kicker

[smoky summit]

This is also automation, and this is also taking away jobs from people that could otherwise manually lip sync

But again

[lunar trench]

Good video on ai ☝️ 🤓
https://youtu.be/ERiXDhLHxmo?si=tdhcbZ6ohdGUo4ar

[smoky summit]

It's about how apparent and probable the job replacement is

[lunar trench]

And good ytbr in general

[smoky summit]

Not that it could happen at all or not

[smoky summit]

Damn, it's the grass man

[untold kayak]

Ai is a whole spectrum of programming

[cunning echo]

Part of it's creation is to help out in coding too

[untold kayak]

Generative is just one of the kinds

[grand cobalt]

afternoon break from persona 3 soundtrack spotted

this MUST be a good video

[lunar trench]

This is from the guy who made the p3r menu video

[smoky summit]

All "ai" at the fundamental level is just a bunch of statistical algorithms done on large amounts of data an indescribable amount of times to hammer patterns in

What we (in a very flimsy way) distinguish as generative ai vs non-generative ai is simply about how the output is presented to us

And I had to look this up because I was thrown for a bit of a loop:

But yes, auto lip syncing is pretty much generative ai even in the basic sense that people use that term as

[wise chasm]

I'm not sure exactly where you're going with this

[smoky summit]

It's all just food for thought

[toxic vapor]

Are y’all talking bout ai usage in frontiers 2?

A lot of ai is useful ngl but it gets to a limit

But where can you define that limit

Like for music, I’d argue stem splitting is an amazing use of ai

Whilst generative ai vocals… isn’t

[smoky summit]

No we were talking about the ethics and defenitions in general, but that is a very good point of discussion lol

[toxic vapor]

AI is defo being used for the concept art for the recent Sonic games

Like it’s so obvious most of the industry will be doing it

[smoky summit]

They probably already have to varying degrees

For the last 2-3 years

[toxic vapor]

Like it’s a big corpo

[smoky summit]

There's this whole thing about "oh, only using models trained on company data"

But man, I can already tell that is hella flimsy

Like if they are using some existing model as basis to train their model on

That model will already have data from all over the internet

And then "ethical" usage and overseeing that gets thrown out the window when deadlines have to be met

[toxic vapor]

[cunning echo]

Ai has the TC files

💔

[grand cobalt]

yeah this was a good video, gg

[raw osprey]

sega fans doesn’t even try to defend sega anymore they just look at you like this

[still epoch]

whens future game show

i might take a look cuz it has square enix

[cunning echo]

Todsy

[still epoch]

what time

[cunning echo]

In an hour I think

[wise chasm]

It's for Life is Strange, don't bother

and maybe Bravely Default PC port, which is already out

[rugged otter]

yes makoto, i will indeed enjoy Sonic Rumble Part

[untold kayak]

my bad

wrong channel

[still epoch]

ah thanks for telling me LOL

[coarse ferry]

Yeah I’m not sure why sega fans even expecting any news at all in future gaming show 🙃

[untold kayak]

The despair

of not getting news

[coarse ferry]

I used to think but I realize more that…. First half of 2026 felt very empty outside of capcom and Pokémon

altho I am more bothered SEGA showing us more sonic rumbles instead of any upcoming sega games 💀

[cunning echo]

well

they gotta recover some rumble monee

[coarse ferry]

maybe 💀

[stiff salmon]

update: https://x.com/thevscooper/status/2032567174280180158

ik we kinda dont trust this guy but atp we're just feening for anything rn

V SCOOPER (@thevscooper)

So this doesnt mean ONE big shared universe, its unification

Its more like creative alignment with film, TV & games around the same themes, character direction & long-term plans. Each their own continuities but similarites stay consistent with references across them

X · Mar 13, 2026, 9:19 PM

[coarse ferry]

Stone in game series plz

🙏

[wise chasm]

I mean, yeah, we...knew that already

[untold kayak]

So basically what they already did with Shadow Gens/movie 3

[rugged otter]

pretty much what it seemed like

[untold kayak]

where some elements aligned but still remained in their continuities

[rugged otter]

not Canon™ canon but like
just what's acceptable to guidelines and etc

[wise chasm]

It's also funny how they took a month to say this lmao

[stiff salmon]

got him 😭

[rugged otter]

new tasty leak is out:
chaotix case files episode 8 will be the last episode as of this time whoooaaaaaaaaaa

[smoky summit]

Waw

He said absolutely nothing of value

That I almost believe him now

Because he thought this clarification is something fans didn't already know

[still epoch]

So is the amigo leak thing fake?

Can i hope somehow for infinite like a loser

[stiff salmon]

yes it is fake

[coarse ferry]

wait it's fake?

[still epoch]

You know what this means

[stiff salmon]

image was inspect elemented 💔

[coarse ferry]

welp 😔

[still epoch]

https://tenor.com/view/sonic-infinite-sup-gif-15264351

[stiff salmon]

i got shut down in gen yesterday for even suggesting this but

the fact they still haven't had a trailer for the next 4 for the patch is well

very suspicious

[raw osprey]

didnt new patch is releasing on 18th?

[stiff salmon]

yeah

no character trailer yet though

im betting on a sonic central on wednesday if anything

[still epoch]

Pwa pwu pwa pwu pwa pwu

[raw osprey]

https://tenor.com/view/kasuga-ichiban-yakuza-ichiban-kasuga-car-gif-16329333682955167191

tbh i did expect central this week but rumble spotlight and first chapter of chaotix finale ruined it

[rugged otter]

really wondering what set of free characters await us
will it be infinite
will it be ulala...
will it be scrunt...

[still epoch]

Why do people want central

Its just here is ivo and here is lego

[raw osprey]

what you mean why

[rugged otter]

because they haven't had enough misery with the rumble direct

[raw osprey]

because people want news

[still epoch]

So true

We can have news in a better form in June

[rugged otter]

alwyays bet on nothing with sonic directs!!!

[raw osprey]

bro i just want my sega central

[stiff salmon]

or fuck it sega central

[rugged otter]

shadowdrops are always gonna be better
like fun surprises

[stiff salmon]

doesnt have to be sonic central

because atp they kinda have to show TMNT

avatar that can wait

but like TMNT? idk if that's a shadowdrop ngl 😭

[ember junco]

Idk just randomly dropping news is hella annoying imo

[rugged otter]

having a bad a day and there's nothing you're expecting today?
Hey look, Sonic Synergy announced for the Wii U!!!

[rugged otter]

for me it's announcing a teaser and then forgetting about until a specific month hits
like, just formally announce the thing

[ember junco]

I’d just rather have like a semi frequent bulk Sonic news drop

Like if they had like Sonic Central minis or smth every month or 2

[raw osprey]

the doing potential man memes with sega IT CANT GO ON LIKE THIS

this is konami spot not segas!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[raw ether]

"gonna take down Sonic and Sonic and Sonic and Sonic and Sonic and Sonic and Sonic and"

[wheat kindle]

What do you mean the Amigo leak was fake? All of it or just the festival description on the tweet?

[dawn pumice]

Sadly no

[stiff salmon]

it was inspect elemented

[still epoch]

Infinite back on the table

[wise chasm]

can the table be shown tho

please

[cunning echo]

Even so Amigo wouldn't be a crazy pick anyways

It would probably happen anyways

[cunning echo]

Is the event next week?

[wise chasm]

a week after

but the patch is March 18th

[cunning echo]

Ahh

Might be revealed next Friday

[wise chasm]

th

no?

[cunning echo]

The cards have spoken

[wise chasm]

We'll know what it is on March 18th at the absolute latest

[wise chasm]

I'll throw those cards into a furnace so that they shut up

👿

[wise chasm]

This aged poorly, but in a weird way

[coarse ferry]

oh yeah LMAO

I guess this give us proof we can see a 2nd rep of a same franchise too

Despite only 3 current slots as of yet

[untold kayak]

What a peculiar way to age

[scarlet ether]

I mean I was technically right on regular Majima

Cuz you all are getting the Captain variant

I am still correct

and you won’t correct me on that

[stiff salmon]

https://tenor.com/view/botan-gif-25976830

/j

[rugged otter]

please let the last three characters be Beat and Ulala and Sakura/Amigo/Joe Musashi/Phantom R/BD Joe/Blaze Fielding

[dusty osprey]

Its time
For aegis

[coarse ferry]

https://tenor.com/view/aigis-persona-3-reload-p3r-p3-persona-3-gif-10328917542957434778

Yeah I'll say it's inevitable we may get a ATLUS 2nd rep

But I have hard time believing we'll end off with 3 chars left

[rugged otter]

aigis would be nice but
I would like there to be a 2nd free pass that included her

[coarse ferry]

That of course 🫡

I can't see them pass on with season 2

You can clearly see a huge amount of reception after each char releases

Miku, Arle, and Tangle/Whisper being the most notable ones

[rugged otter]

oh man, Arle and Miku in a SEGA racer at last

[dawn pumice]

Red, Goro Majima (Captain Majima), and Arle are joining Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds!

They'll be released one by one as FREE updates, so stay tuned!

[dawn pumice]

Classic sonic for sure is the June character

[still epoch]

whats up

[hybrid hill]

who TF is extnd 19 and 20

[dawn pumice]

2 characters that share a vehicle

[hybrid hill]

Watch it be paired with the eventual classic sonic spin off this year as well

[dawn pumice]

💀

[silent haven]

doesn’t this not account for pac man

since he’s 5 charas

[hybrid hill]

Yeah Pac-Man is already mentioned up top

[silent haven]

oh im blind

[rugged otter]

can beat be in this game, please

[hybrid hill]

Wait

Avatar is going to have 2 characters?

[silent haven]

yeah

we know one is obviously aang because of the pre-release leaks

[hybrid hill]

okay hold on lemme prep this rq

[smoky summit]

I like how there's exactly enough space for an extra slot

[rugged otter]

so who is the 2nd
Zuko?

[coarse ferry]

So if we go by these slots, I might as well take a guess:

Classic Sonic, 2nd ATLUS Rep, Joe Musashi (Shinobi)

[silent haven]

we don’t know

it’s probably zuko or korra

take your pick

[coarse ferry]

Avatar wise my guess is Korra

[cunning echo]

one is 2 characters in one

[rugged otter]

Toph

[fossil echo]

What duo will be in the next free set

[cunning echo]

idk

amigo?

[modest parcel]

Classic Sonic

And Boom Sonic!

[rugged otter]

Maybe one of them is Sakura?

considering the board

[cunning echo]

burning rangers chars

[rugged otter]

that'd be sick af

[silent haven]

if we buy into the classic in june theory wouldn’t that mean one of the characters would be missing a vehicle

[smoky summit]

Classic is such a waste of a slot lmao

Im glad they are doing season 2

Hope to see much more sega ips

[dawn pumice]

U know what’s crazy

I actually don’t think classic is a waste of a slot 😭

[cunning echo]

it kinda is

the game already has sonic

[wise chasm]

The game has 2 Sonics

[cunning echo]

2 sonics

[wise chasm]

and 2 Tailses and 2 Knuckleses and 2 Amys

[coarse ferry]

3* sonics

Got modern, super sonic, and the werehog 🫡

[wise chasm]

Right, Super Sonic

so yeah, technically 3

[coarse ferry]

But honestly I can see them skip classic sonic while doing a 35th anniversary event

[silent haven]

i would genuinely prefer fang & trip but god knows that ain’t happening

[pulsar horizon]

We need Boom Sonic

[cunning echo]

[smoky summit]

I know there's 0 chance it happens this year

But fingers crossed for April fools mini rpg 😔

[nova quail]

[wheat kindle]

I just read that the "season finale" for the Chaotix Casefiles is from the official Sonic tweet

oh boy, what if Infinite returns in season 2?

I'm scared now, I hope he comes back for a new game regardless of season 2 of the podcast

[fossil echo]

I dont think its got anything to do with infinite actually, just that we could get another adventure with the chaotix

Cause they accept a new case at the end
Its one of those, job's never over leading into endless cases

[ember junco]

https://youtu.be/qc_wRkxG8F4

[silent haven]

good news puyo fans

you will be able to hear arle's voice

they have the actual cheer effects from the game for when you do tricks but red still just uses sound effects

[still epoch]

Can we stop talking about fad bird

Arle is here

[silent haven]

i'm gonna talk about him even more now just for that

why does he blow your ears out when you select him

[ember junco]

Yeah it feels weird the only rep for the games is the og theme

[pulsar horizon]

Yeah like have the banners have the game designs and the emotes or decals have the game designs as well

[silent haven]

Um

last 3 aren't part of the ones added today

[wide portal]

it’s a shame they skimped out on game designs but I guess there is that new movie coming up

[silent haven]

Drift Spinner Kit: Lv 1 Quick Charge + Spin Drift "A kit that makes the Level 1 Drift Charge fill slightly faster. Spin and knock away other machines while drifting."
Item Buster Kit: Item Attack Bounty + Item Chance Up "A kit that makes Attack items appear more often. Get Rings for attacking others."
Panel Combo Kit: Dash Panel Combo Bounty + Handling Tuner + Power Tuner "A kit for using Dash Panels to get Rings.Use multiple Dash Panels in a row to get more Rings. Increases Power and Handling."
Speed Character Kit 2: Invincible Start + Starting Boost Bounty, Speed Characters get stat adjustments "A kit to become invincible when the race starts, and get Rings with a successful Starting Boost. Speed characters get stat adjustments."

[dawn pumice]

It was real?

[modest parcel]

[dawn pumice]

Ya we’ve found this months ago in the files 😭 😭 😭

For reference

[dawn pumice]

Still uh

Surprised they’ve kept it in

[wind bay]

That’s Silver, a bird introduced in Angry Birds 2 (both the game and the movie). In the movies, she’s Chuck’s sister.

In the games, she hatched from a fourth egg (outside of the main three) that the Pigs took, and they would raise her until she grew up and joined the birds

[verbal tundra]

OH THATS THE GIRL FROM THE 2ND GAME

OOOOOHHHH

I do not fw her design in the movie wtf

[wind bay]

yeah, she got significantly redesigned compared to the original game cast

Thats a thing

In Japanese, originally, the robot Masters wasnt a concept. That was something of the American side

||the bosses were determined by who created them, with the first round of robots Made in Megaman 1 be Dr. Light Numbers. Basically the title refers that you're a creation of Light lol||

any reason why

if I had to guess, code name with “Flick” in it sounds like it could be related to flickies

could also just be an anime since it’s cel shaded, don’t see why they’d do that for Sonic tbh

it being cel-shaded automatically rules sonic out

[silent haven]

mildly interesting find from the crossworlds modding server for anyone looking for cope: the demo actually has support for more character slots than the full game (which doesn't display anything past 56 slots) when you use mods to expand it

[rugged otter]

potential slots...
(worst case scenario, maybe this might be handy for modding)

[scarlet ether]

but it might just be Uekawa-styled Sonic

[ember junco]

An actual leak has hit #1309325201426743337

https://tenor.com/view/dj-khaled-meme-surprise-shock-gif-21311476

[wheat kindle]

Thank Gaia, now I can speculate

First things first, I need that graphics update, on Switch 2 and hopefully you can upgrade instead of buying the whole game again at full price, I bought it twice already SEGA

[strange estuary]

We're all buying it a third time

[wheat kindle]

If they want us to buy it again besides on Switch 2, they will need to give us more content, I would like, besides more challenges and characters, more cohesion in the world, some major fix for update 3, and if they could mash up the 2 Ouranos + stories, it would be great

instead of having the best final act of the game hidden within a tiny Warp Ring, and with a messy DLC

Rhea also needs a lot of rethinking, but I doubt they will do something big with this edition, because yeah, I would 100% direct all the resources towards the next main game

The major things are graphics update on SW2 + technical issues fix + some mini new shit

[strange estuary]

Wait, what major fix for update 3?

[wheat kindle]

either they can integrate it with the main game so we have 1 ending, balance some more things like the combat with guardians (either too hard or too easy)

and balance the Koco challenges too

[strange estuary]

Just general improvements, then

[wheat kindle]

they were either too easy or too hard, again

[strange estuary]

I genuinely would like that

[wheat kindle]

Update 3 was so cool but so messy

[fossil echo]

Why yall thinking this is anything more than a switch 2 version

dont set yourselves up for disappointment like this

[wise chasm]

It'd be called Nintendo Switch 2 Edition then

Like Crossworlds is called Sonic Racing Crossworlds Nintendo Switch 2 Edition

[coarse ferry]

^

[wise chasm]

Or it'd be a completely separate SKU and it'd just be called Sonic Frontiers (aka SxSG scenario)

[smoky summit]

My guess is it will be at the xbox partner showcase

[prime hearth]

I think it’s a safe bet by this point yeah

[fossil echo]

I guess, but like I feel like its just gonna be a package with all the dlc in one or something

[coarse ferry]

Interesting. So that makes 3 possible SEGA related announcement in the showcase

With Strangers of Heaven (Xbox flatout confirmed it lmao) P4R and now Frontiers definitive edition

[wise chasm]

It's possible, but all the DLC (outside of adventurer's pack or whatever the fuck) is free already

[fossil echo]

i forget, was there any paid dlc?

oh

[coarse ferry]

No

So unless it's going to be just visual upgrade, it's very vauge over what they'll do

But at the same time, it won't be anything crazy

[fossil echo]

maybe korone for american this time lol

[wise chasm]

I guess they could also put Korone shoes in

[coarse ferry]

or that lmao

But I feel like they are doing this just so they give us something until "Frontiers 2" is good to go which is most likely next year atp

[lunar trench]

That's in 33h10min

[wise chasm]

But also you can buy Digital Deluxe anyway and it'd have that Adventurer pack, so...

It's even on sale for 20 banana rn on steam

[coarse ferry]

But legit I feel like the only new thing they could do is letting us play tails, knuckles, and amy in other island. That's about it

[raw osprey]

the most random show they could announce this projects but alright

[prime hearth]

honestly if this is their big new thing for 2026 I absolutely think we’re getting another year of crossworlds too lol

like, if we were in big new game territory I could see em not doing that to have all eyes on said new game

but this is v clearly a stop-gap year for bigger things happening in the background

[wise chasm]

The "Definitive Edition" moniker is kinda funny because it can either be like those GoTY editions where they just put all content on disc and do nothing else

Or it could be Xenoblade 1 and Xenoblade X

[prime hearth]

(which is kinda wild considering it’s the anniversary lol, but still)

[raw osprey]

i forgot what did they add in xenoblade

[wise chasm]

A decent bit

Graphics for one

Also the cut continent got reframed into a separate campaign that linked to XB3...in some way

The UI was redone to make it less, well, Xenoblade 1

Some XP changes were there iirc

[rugged otter]

I do think it's not often we get definitive sonics out there so maybe the standard might be a bit different and we might get something a little more substantial
especially if they have nothing else this year outside of side stuff and crossworlds

could this be another testing ground for more stuff they'll be tinkering with the next game on

[raw osprey]

well they not gonna add any of that lmao

again i just think its gonna be everything on disc with some qol improvements that you can upgrade with 5$

[wise chasm]

I guess my point was that "Definitive Edition" can imply different things

[coarse ferry]

Oh it's just me guessing really lmao

[still epoch]

I truly hope its like xeno 1

[sick hollow]

"rated in Insert country here" kinda leak. Yeah, this is real.

[humble drum]

Make Tails Knuckles and Amy playable in the other islands and a post game unlocked skin for them to remove the ghost effects

[prime hearth]

you know what? do the opposite

Tails Knux and Amy in a new cyberspace open zone, concurrent with the main story

then after clearing said extra story with em you get to play as em in the main game proper

[stiff salmon]

this leak is hella fake man cmon 😭😭

[wise chasm]

Put the fries in the bag bro

[untold kayak]

[stiff salmon]

mods send him to the chamber of doom thank you

[loud zinc]

?????

[sick hollow]

That would be nice.

[prime hearth]

pretty sure he doesn't lol

lemme grab up a playthru rq

(oh man desktop discord is shitting itself atm lol)

hmm, right so

he says it but not about chaos island, he's standing next to sunset heights

which makes sense considering this is gens shadow who hasn't gone thru forces yet

so no, not a next game tease

[untold kayak]

My reading of it is more so like a suposition of Gerald trying to reason why certain places are in the white space

[forest fractal]

Yeah there’s no real guarantee we’ll see Shadow on these islands

[untold kayak]

but it isn't something mayor really

[smoky summit]

This will either age like Cheddar or Mozzarella

[untold kayak]

the time eater just picked places wildly to bring them there

[forest fractal]

The best we got is a name drop from Sonic in Frontiers anyway

Well it’s not random since Eggman was controlling it in Gens

[dawn pumice]

No he’s right Gerald mentions he went to these places in the future in some way

[forest fractal]

Eggman had a reason to displace these locations in White Space

[prime hearth]

I think its likely but in a "shadow is the hotness rn they'll put his ass in anything" way instead of a "it was da master plan all along........." way lol

[untold kayak]

But why would he bring Crisis city?

That's not a place eggman even visitted in 06

[smoky summit]

I can see them doing Metal Sonic instead for ease of use and Sonic 4 collab

[untold kayak]

(nor has any real way of knowing given 06 self erased of the timeline)

[forest fractal]

Now that’s something worth digging into

[cunning echo]

He never says is a place he travels in the future

[still epoch]

Can we have anyone BUT shadow

[rugged otter]

aright then, let's put Silver in

time for all the potential to flow in

[prime hearth]

we're putting in the care bears and you'll goddamn LIKE IT

[cunning echo]

Also I'm sure shadow asked due to sunset heights

[modest parcel]

Real

[cunning echo]

As for chaos island, iirc one of the egg memos talked about Gerald on it or similar

[smoky summit]

Ew no

Chadow > Supreme

The End.

[smoky summit]

I mean

That's a pretty big implication lol

[rugged otter]

you know what
Blaze
why? idc, just do it.

[humble drum]

wrong

please

@Skititlez Did you like Frontiers?

X · Jan 20, 2026, 8:15 PM

WHAT

[still epoch]

Do blaze do silver do espio do zavok just not shadow again man

[untold kayak]

I have a simpler answer

Do Metal

[modest parcel]

Silver would be cool

Time travel... to the ancients time.......

I WANT THIS NOW DAMN

Best character for the setting

Idk what plot beats would be beckoning him towards the islands though

[fossil echo]

Frontiers, episode shadow edition

[modest parcel]

You could have him have portals to and from the present and have time travel puzzles

[fossil echo]

Greedhog needs food

[modest parcel]

And the future perhaps

[modest parcel]

He's gonna show up and be useless like he was in Dream Team

At least Episode Shadow gave Infinite good food

[fossil echo]

You will take your slopdow content and enjoy it

Are we sure? I'd argue episode shadow destroyed infinite's pr

He'll return for Frontiers 2 though!

Just leave shadow out of frontiers 1

[fossil echo]

Frontiers episode shadow is the prelude trust

[modest parcel]

[smoky summit]

Infinite had no PR

Lmao

Will never forget the way he flops dead in the final boss fight

[dawn pumice]

Doubt he was talking about this, the person mentioned what the next direction for the next game is

[smoky summit]

That was the amalgamation of the whimper that was him and the game

[dawn pumice]

Nvm he did say leak the next 3D Sonic game

So technically

It’s right?

[prime hearth]

do not give "insiders" an inch of being right they will take a mile

"ohhh they're slightly a bit right-" no, do not give them the satisfaction

[dawn pumice]

I only give Nate credit cuz he’s Nintendo stuff is mostly right

[prime hearth]

either they have the next sonic game plot printed on their 'sack at birth or they have nowt

[dawn pumice]

Anyone else

[prime hearth]

no inbetween

[dawn pumice]

😭

[last idol]

I dont pay much attention to them these days but

I do think the chances of the next game just dead ass being “frontiers 2” in name and everything has gone up exponentially

Like a teaser on next years game releasing at some point this year and frontiers definitive edition launching around the same time

[stiff salmon]

maybe just like a recap situation for those who never knew the updates existed right

[prime hearth]

I think if they're willing to put out frontiers again only a few years later they see the value in the name, yeah

[stiff salmon]

yep

[last idol]

Yeah exactly

Like prior to this I was pretty certain it wouldn’t be given their aversion to sequels

[dawn pumice]

Still don’t think it’s straight up frontiers 2

I’m guessing it’s something in a similar vain like Sonic Horizons or Sonic Badlands

[smoky summit]

If it ain't random 4chan leaks

It's probably got 0.001% beint real

4chan meanwhile

Has a 0.5% chance

1 every 200 leaks

[wide portal]

lowkey should somebody like do a backlog and see if anybody’s mentioned a frontiers definitive edition on there before March 24th 😭

[rugged otter]

too lazy, but will random leaks talking about the totally real and happening Unleashed remaster suffice

[safe hull]

Waiting for the Spinball remake

[silent haven]

https://tenor.com/view/fairly-odd-parents-meme-cosmos-timmy-wanda-gif-25405522

got sonic being at the direct wrong

got robobot switch port wrong

he’s a BUM

[wide portal]

He specified that those were guesses when he said them didn’t he 😭

[strange estuary]

Now this does give me suspicion Shadow could actually make it into this Definitive Edition

All roads lead to Shadow...

[cunning echo]

The shitting leak mentioned shadow being playable

But he never appeared

Now we get this edition

All the roads lead to the shitting leak once again...

[deep spire]

The what leak

[strange estuary]

Oh no

Where's the image for that again?

[cunning echo]

https://tenor.com/view/thanos-avengers-endgame-gone-reduced-to-atoms-gif-26539274

[deep spire]

I am so so far out of the loop what is the shitting leak

[modest parcel]

A Sonic Frontiers rumor iirc

Listed Shadow showing up as a character in the game before the game came out
