We\u2019re also hearing that it will cost $50 and a physical release is confirmed. However, it\u2019s unclear if that means a proper cartridge version or a game-key card.<\/p>\n<p>June 23 is a very significant date. That\u2019s actually the same day as Sonic the Hedgehog\u2019s anniversary. This year, the franchise turns 35.<\/p>\n<p>billbil-kun has a very accurate track record when it comes to gaming leaks. As just one example, he correctly reported on the release date for Assassin\u2019s Creed Shadows on Nintendo Switch 2 before it was announced. This person seems to have early access to retailer information.<\/p>\n<p>Sonic Frontiers: Definitive Edition was <a href=\"https:\/\/nintendoeverything.com\/sonic-frontiers-definitive-edition-has-been-spotted\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">previously leaked a couple of months ago.<\/a> The game popped up in the Taiwanese classification database, but no details were provided.<\/p>\n<p>Sonic Frontiers originally came to Nintendo Switch at the end of 2022.
