The Sonic Frontiers will be loaded with content upon launch, but the game will also be receiving DLC updates. The official Sonic The Hedgehog Twitter page has announced that Sonic Frontiers will be receiving Monster Hunter crossover DLC on November 14 and it will be completely free for everyone to . This DLC gives Sonic two different sets of Rathalos armor to wear and the ability to play the meat-cooking minigame from the Monster Hunter series, where the hunters cook food while out in the field.
Sonic Will Be Cooking Animal Flesh In Monster Hunter DLC
The inclusion of cooking meat in Sonic Frontiers through the Monster Hunter DLC isn't too surprising, as the Monster Hunter series loves grilled meat. What's more disturbing is the implications of its inclusion. In the Monster Hunter series, Raw Meat is commonly acquired from killing monsters (either the big ones that act as the objectives in each stage, or the smaller ones that are seen hanging out in the field), and then carving the flesh from their body. Unlike the Pokémon series' treatment of meat, the Monster Hunter franchise is very frank about where it comes from, which raises some interesting implications regarding the Sonic Frontiers crossover.
It's surprising that the Monster Hunter crossover doesn't actually involve adding any of the famous monsters as bosses. The Monster Hunter and Final Fantasy crossover brought Behemoth and Rathalos into different games, while Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker pitted Snake against monsters. Monster Hunter and Sonic the Hedgehog have crossed over before, but maybe there are limits as to what both companies agreed to, and Sonic chowing down on meat is the most that could be included.
