Those pesky age rating organisations are at it again, inadvertently leaking unannounced games.
Over on the site for the Game Rating and Administration Committee of Korea, a listing has been discovered for a new version of Sonic Frontiers (thanks, Gematsu).
It's called Sonic Frontiers Definitive Edition, and unfortunately that's all we know right now.
However, its appearance on an official site like this one, where age ratings are issued to all games released or planning to release in the country, pretty much confirms its existence.
We expect SEGA will announce the Definitive Edition fairly soon, and it'll probably form part of the 35th anniversary celebration of Sonic the Hedgehog.
So, what could a Definitive Edition of Sonic Frontiers be? Well, we'd typically expect a project like that to simply package the base game together with its DLC, but the DLC for Frontiers is all free.
This is purely speculation but it's possible there may be some gameplay tweaks. Shadow's half of Sonic X Shadow Generations makes some refinements to the Frontiers formula, so there's a chance the team wants to bring the original in line with those improvements.
It's also possible there will be some visual or technical enhancements; for example, a common complaint about Frontiers is its egregious pop-in, with level geometry appearing as you run along.
Whatever the case may be, the game's appearance on a ratings site means an announcement is inbound.
It's worth pointing out that the Xbox Partner Preview takes place tomorrow, 26th March 2026, and SEGA is known to be present as it's showing off Stranger Than Heaven. Could it announce Sonic Frontiers Definitive Edition there as well?
We'll soon find out. Are you interested in a Definitive Edition for Sonic Frontiers? Tell us in the comments section below.

Here we go again…
It was certain there will be some new Sonic game in 2026, but I guess fans expected Frontiers 2 and not Frontiers+!
Maybe I'll actually get around to playing it if it comes up on PS+ again.
Sonic Adventures 1 & 2 remake please (sorry @LikelySatan) OR hear me out, they can redeem themselves and remake Sonic '06, basically anything other the Frontiers...
where the hell is unleashed? sega always going for the lowest hanging fruit. arguably the best 3D Boost sonic game they’ve ever made and they’re deathly afraid of touching it
I loved Frontiers, but this smells like a blatant cash grab is on the horizon.
Knowing Sega, they’ll be trying to get people to buy the game a second time at full price with the definitive edition and delist the original.
This game was an absolute mess... and I kinda loved it.
TBH I haven't played a 3D Sonic game in decades and just had a lot of fun with it for all it's glaring faults. But I never would have even tried it without PS+.
I have a PS5 and Switch 2, but Switch 2 edition will be nice. Switch 1 version is tough
To me, Sonic Frontiers got really stale really quickly. Shadow Generations is top notch, but Sonic Frontiers...not so much.
I loved Frontiers, I wonder what they would do differently for the definitive edition though
