Sonic fans, we were so close to greatness. As it happens, the devs actually did consider adding a Chao garden in 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Sonic Frontiers, but decided against it, for whatever reason. That's according to Sonic Frontie💜rs' director, Morio Kishimoto, who shared that hꦫe thought it would have been a great addition to the new open zone world.
However, don't get your hopes up for future updates. In a reply to a fan, Kishimoto makes it clear that the Chao garden won't be added to Frontiers further down the line, instead suggesting it could returওn in the next Sonic game.
Kishimoto's comments came after a fan asked if we could see the much-loved Chao garden feature return at some point. In response, Kishimoto coꩵnfirms that it is indeed part of the conversation.
"This is a part that I thought about many times during the production of t💞he main story," says Kishimoto (via Google Translate). "It is an attractive item that goes very well🦂 with the open zone."
Sadly, he then confirms we shouldn't expect it in the next update. "It's diffic🔥ult with the scale of the update, but I also hope that ♔there will be a chance to create an environment that we can actively consider in the next game."
At the very least, we might be able to collect the adorable Chao in another game. And it's safe to say that Sega is actually aware of how much we want the garden to ma🐽ke a comeback now๊, so that bodes well.
In fact, Kishimoto himself has been keeping an eye on fan requests, and has already implemented a few of them into Sonic Frontiers. For example, 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:the quality of life updates like quicker Cyber Space resets and being able to upgrade stats in bulk came from fan suggestions. At the time the update went live, Kishimoto said that it was 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:bigger than the devs intended,❀ with some of the additions not being advertised on the roadmap. So the playerbase is being ꦐlistened to.
On that note, we already know that another much-requested feature will be added in the next Frontiers update. According to a datamine,168澳洲幸运5开奖网: Sonic will be able to spin dash soon, bringing back his most iconic ability. Once this was spotted, Kishimoto confirmed that this is indeed in the works, further pointing to how much 🔯attention he's paying to the community. C'mon Kishimoto, just 💫chuck a few Chao in there after that, yeah?
The next Sonic Frontiers update will likely be with us iღn June, as it's meant to coincide with Sonic's birthday. So far, we know it will introduce new Koco, Open Zones challenges, and most likely the return of the spin dash ability.
