Sonic Frontiers was a sales success, we know that much. The open-zone formula still has a lot of potential too. So, it isn't out of the realm of possibility that Sonic Frontiers will get a sequel someday. Sure enough, not only is there now a rumor swirling around that it will, but it is actually in development right now!
What makes this rumor a little different from the others isn't just the fact that it's about the next 3D Sonic game. It's that not one but two well-known insiders have actually shared information on it. The insider that originally shared the news is DanielRPK, who did so via his Patreon. DanielRPK is mainly known for insider information on movies and television series, he does occasionally offer some info in relation to video games. So, it's not all that surprisng that he's done this.
Of course, if you're looking for corroboration from a more video gaming focused insider, you don't have to look far. Midori has tweeted that, yes, it is correct information. However, it is worth clarifying that the game is only being considered a sequel to Sonic Frontiers because its gameplay is similar. It may have another name entirely, and said name is subject to change. Remember that Sonic Frontiers was originally going to be called Sonic Rangers when it was in development.
That all said, this isn't official information from SEGA and/or Sonic Team. Because of this, I must remind you once more that, as long as it remains that way and nothing is officially confirmed, always treat rumors with an open mind. Sometimes rumors are confirmed true, sometimes they're confirmed false. Sometimes they had been true at the time the insider's information was shared, only for the developers to change their mind behind-the-scenes. There's a lot of factors involved to keep in mind. Nevertheless, whenever SEGA announces their next 3D Sonic game, we'll let you know! In the meantime, here's Midori's tweet providing additional details about the rumor:
