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.

It was certain there will be some new Sonic game in 2026, but I guess fans expected Frontiers 2 and not Frontiers+!
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
@somnambulance Better be a physical copy then i have not bought it yet.😆
@Flaming_Kaiser I preordered the darn game digitally. I’m still mad at myself for going digital because that was the only PS5 I could find at launch. 🤦♂️
@somnambulance Yeah i can't blame you but with this generation if you waited you could have bought all the classics and in one go there were not to many great games this generation.
@Flaming_Kaiser I have a running list of my top 50 favorite games this generation. Only about a dozen of them are fully this generation, with most of them either being Switch games or also available on PS4. We’ve got six years now with the console and we’re averaging two great PS5 games a year. Definitely a weird generation. I don’t think I could make a top 50 list of just current gen games… or I could, but it would include weaker games.
I thought it was sort of bad to be honest. A decent idea for the first hour and then you realise that’s just the full game. Some of the worst open world art direction I’ve seen too, felt like an Unreal Engine demo.
I'm guessing they add Shadow as a playable character considering Chaos Island was in Shadow Generations.
What could they even do with a definitive edition, but I was hoping anything left for frontiers was being saved for a sequel. I'm still gonna likely get it cause this game is amazing. When you just want to run around open fields that actually take advantage of sonics speed with fun puzzles and platforming, this game does it so so well
Expect the original getting delisted and Sonic fans stopping buying Sonic games at launch.
Sonic Frontiers is the first Sonic game I've ever played, and I had a ton of fun with it. If this is a free update/upgrade for existing owners I may check it out, but I'm not buying the game twice if that is what Sega is going for.
Great for the peeps that like Frontiers, I personally really did not like it lol. Maybe I'm just an old head with regards to 3D Sonic games, but I did not care for it.
So the New game was just another edition of frontiers really 😒😒😒
Wish they would get the head out of their arses and release a remaster of Skies of Arcadia Legends for all systems for god's sake
I tried with it.
@Vyse_the_Legend a group of Sonic fans is called a "sicko," fyi.
@LikelySatan I didn't know that.
@Nakatomi_Uk SEGA didn't even acknowledge Skies of Arcadia's 25th anniversary.
@Vyse_the_Legend Yeah that's what pissed me off they could have dropped a remaster
If it has a free upgrade then cool, if not I'll stick to what I've got
@Nakatomi_Uk And after the news thst SEGA renwed the trademark is really disappointing.
@Vyse_the_Legend From what I've been reading it seems Sega are reluctant to release any more older titles because of the devalue it's brought to the Mega Drive classics over the years why they delisted them.
Yet it's been 25 years since Skies came out yesterday the GameCube one as well but if they released it now on modern systems with QOL improvements it would sell like crazy. I don't think it would devalue it the only reason the MD games were is because Sega (whoever was in charge at that time) was seriously milking those games like repeatedly
@Nakatomi_Uk Skies of Arcadia needs faster combat and no random encounters near discoveries, then it would be Golden.
@somnambulance Elden Ring was fantastic and i loved the PS5 version of Ghost of Thushima, Just finished Code Vein. My backlog is to big i have difficulty choosing what to play.
