Sonic Frontiers' last free update, The Final Horizon, arrives today for players across Nintendo Switch, PlayStation, Xbox, and PC.
Developed by Sonic Team and published by SEGA, Sonic Frontiers originally launched on November 8, 2022, and The Final Horizon is positioned as the update intended to close out the game's narrative arc.
The patch is available to download from 5pm PST / 8pm EST / 10pm BST on September 28, 2023, and will be distributed through platform stores including the Nintendo eShop for Switch owners.
A new trailer released by SEGA ahead of the update highlights gameplay for all four playable characters included in the update.
The footage showcases Sonic alongside Tails, Knuckles, and Amy in distinct playstyles.
The trailer features the Cyclone, a mech associated with Tails, and presents Amy and Knuckles concentrating on close-quarters combat and platforming mechanics.
SEGA has described The Final Horizon as more than just additional playable characters.
The free DLC adds new narrative moments, challenge content, and gameplay elements designed to bring the Frontiers story to a climactic conclusion.
According to SEGA's plot summary, the new narrative content takes place before the final confrontation on Ouranos Island.
In that sequence, Sage revisits an unlikely scenario among her calculations; with aid from both Sage and Dr. Eggman, Sonic sets a plan in motion to convert the Cyber Corruption into a previously untapped power source.
Meanwhile, Amy, Knuckles, and Tails set out to recover Chaos Emeralds on Sonic's behalf to alter their course.
For Switch players, the update will appear in the Nintendo eShop as a free download once it goes live at the stated times.
The Final Horizon represents SEGA's final free content drop for Sonic Frontiers, bringing new playable options and additional story beats to the base experience.
Players should ensure they have the latest game update installed before launching to access new characters and the added narrative content.
With The Final Horizon now available, Sonic Frontiers completes the suite of post-launch free updates SEGA promised, delivering extra gameplay modes and a concluding chapter for the open-zone title across all supported platforms.
