The multiplayer trailer confirmed there would be drop-in, drop-out local co-op for up to four players throughout Sonic Superstars’ entire campaign. The online PvP Battle Mode will accommodate four players locally or eight players online.
Sega also revealed a substantial free update for Sonic Frontiers that is due to be released on September 28. The Final Horizon update will include new story content and new challenges, as well as the ability to play as Tails, Amy, and Knuckles. The trailer shows the team facing a very large mysterious enemy. It seems like the only way to defeat him is for Sonic to harness the power of the Chaos Emeralds to become Super Sonic.
