Since we weren’t given many details about what to expect for players in Sonic Frontiers, the anniversary episode that will paradoxically be released a bit late, SEGA fills the field as best it can, including the linguistics.
Sonic Frontiers will once again be fully localized in French. To celebrate the 30 years of its mascot that never stops looking for itself, SEGA intends to offer a multilingual adventure that obviously takes a place for the language of Malik Bentalha:
Good news ! The teams have already been hard at work localizing Sonic Frontiers and bringing the series to new audiences.
Sonic Frontiers
Therefore, in addition to the original dubbing and the French version, the characters of Sonic Frontiers will speak German, Italian, Japanese and Spanish to cast a wide net. Unfortunately, SEGA hasn’t bothered to reveal the cast of actors who will be lending their voices in these different languages., although Roger Craig Smith’s return to the business should allow him to once again impersonate the supersonic mascot. On the VF side, we wonder why Alexandre Gilelt wasn’t invited again, since he embodies the hedgehog since Sonic Generations, the episode that celebrated the twentieth of the CQFD series.
But when one consults the details provided by SEGA, one can only wonder about certain localization options The Chinese and Korean subtitles are not available on PS4, PS5 or Switch and are therefore “exclusive” to the PC, Xbox One and Xbox Series versions. A curious choice, difficult to explain at first.
Let’s hope this singular linguistic approach finds an explanation, since Sonic Frontiers has already taken longer than expected to develop. In fact, SEGA recently announced that it was forced to postpone the celebrations following negative feedback during the first tests.
We must now be patient and wait wisely for Sonic Frontiers to end in 2022 on PC, PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One and Xbox Series.
