Sonic Frontiers wants to compete with God of War: Ragnarok

With a few changes to the Sonic Frontiers Steam page, we may know when the new Sonic spin-off is due to release. The title is still displayed on Steam with a release period of “Holiday 2022”, but loudly SteamDB the release date was moved to November 8, 2022 just yesterday. Additionally, Sonic Frontier’s Steam achievements and controller support have been added, as well as Denuvo copy protection. Interestingly, it was removed a few hours ago, and the release date has also been moved to December 3, 2022.

Possible release date for Sonic Frontiers announced

December 3, 2022 is a Saturday, unlike November 8, which falls on a Tuesday this year. So it’s quite possible that the developers just want to lure resourceful players with the new date on the wrong track. Also, recent Sonic titles such as Sonic Forces, Sonic Lost World, and Sonic Generations were all released in November.

Ideally, Sega would like to release their new 3D Sonics before Christmas, so November 8th as the release date for Sonic Frontiers would definitely make sense. However, if the date actually proves true, Sonic will have to compete with God of War Ragnarök, which will be released just a day later. Ubisoft’s Skull and Bones also appears on the same day, and only ten days later the new Pokemon offshoots celebrate their release.
