The Sonic Team, unfortunately, dropped the ball on the final content update for Sonic Frontiers, drawing criticism on social media from users unimpressed with the difficulty and it simply felt rushed to meet a deadline. Thankfully, they haven’t walked away from the 3D platformer and have released a new update today which should please owners of the game. Interestingly, it has emerged that this update was set to fix one issue that a customer contacted them about, but they thought they would push the boat out and work on other improvements in Frontiers. These patch notes are translated from Japanese by Sonic Stadium:
The following fixes are specific to easy mode:
- The level design for the trial towers has been changed.
- The trials of the 4 Koco masters have been made easier, and Sonic’s attack power has been adjusted.
- King Koco’s trial has been made easier. You start with 600 rings instead of 400 and the titans have been made weaker. Sonic’s perfect parry now lasts much longer. We’ve also received unconfirmed reports that perfect parry has been made more generous in the other difficulty modes. This is not mentioned in the patch notes, and I can’t tell.
The following apply to all difficulties:
- Pink panels will now respawn after a certain amount of time or distance. This will be a big help for the second trial tower.
- When Amy, Tails and Knuckles are leveled up, the attack and defense parameters of certain techniques will be increased.
- Amy, Tails and Knuckles perfect parry is now more generous, and much more generous in easy mode.
- Cyberspace changes will reset your time if you die without hitting a checkpoint.
- The patch notes mention other bug fixes. The only one specifically mentioned is a glitch that caused audio to not play during sub-events.
- Knuckles glide now has no wind up animation and can turn much tighter. Knuckles’ glide is significantly better now, and much closer to his Adventure era maneuverability.
