Before the official reveal of Sonic Frontiers, the project had been rumored about for quite some time. A specific leak dating back to 2019 was brought into the spotlight by @Matthasnocuts. This leak was first posted on 4chan, where the anonymous poster claimed to have run online surveys about several videogame project ideas, including one for a new Sonic game.
Some more details of the leak
The leak namedrops “Starfall Islands” which Polygon previously reported to be the setting of Sonic Frontiers, and also includes screenshots of a description that’s eerily similar to the plot synopsis, adding a sense of legitimacy to the rumor. However, what makes this leak even more interesting is that a concept for Super Mario Odyssey 2 was also included in the poster’s survey. According to the description shared by the poster, this concept included Luigi as a playable character with his own version of “Cappy”, a set of 20 locations, additional characters such as Yoshi, and more.

If only…
Of course, this does not have to mean anything . Don’t get us wrong we would love for the Super Mario Odyssey 2 rumors to be true, just like Sonic Frontiers turned out to be true. But as with all rumors of we caution readers to take them with a grain of salt.Â
