In the lead-up to Sonic Frontiers' launch, SEGA is advertising a special bonus for those that subscribe to the game's official newsletter. The stylish and iconic "SOAP" shoes from Sonic Adventure 2 will be making a return in Sonic Frontiers, as free DLC. In order to equip Sonic with the shoes, you'll need to sign up for the Sonic Frontiers newsletter, and after the game launches on November 8th, you'll receive an email with an in-game code you can use.

Guess at least is free, unlike that one time they tried to sell Super Sonic for cash, ugh.
Still, like... it's literally something you're never gonna notice unless he's staying still or in cutscenes, I guess.

Also, for funsies

Just use a throwaway email address. It's not that hard.

They look even more out of proportion than in SA2.

 

[Bladexdsl]

that won't save this train wreck

 

[JuanMena]

Aw, I was getting used to look at Sonic barefoot.

 

[BlueFox gui]

ok, this game went from shit to GOTY

 

[HarveyHouston]

Bubble bath with Sonic, anyone? Okay, that just got weird... my apologies!

TBH, I never paid too close attention to the shoes Sonic wore when I played Sonic Adventure 2. Not sure what the big deal is about, anyway.

 

[Marc_LFD]

This feels desperate. :-|

The game isn't even out and Sega's already doing fan-service as DLC for the game.

I hope they get the gameplay right.
They had a few years with Super Mario Odyssey to learn a thing or two about 3D dinamics...

They own Classic Sonic (the playable character) and he was super heavy in Sonic Forces!

But will there be anywhere to actually grind in the game? Since that's the whole point of those shoes.
I thought the soap shoes were removed in the remasters for PS3 etc, because they didn't have the license anymore/soap shoes didn't exist anymore.
Still cool either way!

 

[Jonna]

Never mind

 

[Xzi]

Damn, Sonic can run in high heels? He truly is powerful.

Grind rails are in Forces so no worries there. From what I remember, he still wears the shoes in the 2012 remaster but they got rid of all the in-game advertisements.


This is exactly the kind of fan-service DLC I live for. Sonic Adventure 2 Battle is one of my all-time favorite games.

The game isn't even out so they could just include it than DLC everything.

It doesn't look promising for Frontiers which Sega has been defending hard. I just hope it's not another failure like Forces.

Honestly, I’m not even looking it all that deeply. It’s a cool bonus that they decided to add. Yeah, the way they went about it is super obtuse but they could’ve just not done anything, or you know charged money for it. I dunno, I tend to be more of a “glass half full” kind of guy.

Never liked the Soap Shoes but this is cool for the people who like them.
