Sonic Frontiers 2 is reportedly currently in development at SEGA with the gameplay being a sequel to 2022's Frontiers gameplay-wise.
That's what known movie insider Daniel Richtman (DanielRPK) has said on Patreon yesterday. We've included the insider's post on X as well as an image (via @ItsUnusuaI) from his post on Patreon below.

Would you be interested in Sonic Frontiers 2? Hit the comments below. Here's what we wrote about the excellent first Frontiers in our launch review two years ago: "Where Sonic Frontiers attempts to do something entirely new is the gameplay, which is completely different from anything we have seen in the series so far. For the first time, Sonic the Hedgehog has gone completely open-world, as players control the blue hedgehog as he explores a few different islands that are filled with items to collect, simple puzzles to solve, and enemies to defeat. The experience that feels the closest to it is that of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, with some obvious streamlining in terms of combat and puzzles. Littered all over the islands are also the signature Rings, bumpers, rails, shuttle loops, and every other gameplay feature that has become synonymous with the series since its beginnings."
