The next mainline entry in the literally long-running franchise, Sonic Frontiers, is currently slated to arrive sometime in the Holiday 2022 period. This game appears to be a huge shift for the series as a whole, using what looks like an open world, at least from early trailers so far. Like Sonic Origins, it's coming to all major platforms.
