The English-language announcement of the DLC is relatively straightforward but lacks detail. The Japanese-language version, however, indicates that there will special equipment for Sonic as well as a grilling set where he can play some kind of minigame in order to get stronger. You can check out the official announcement of the new Sonic Frontiers DLC for yourself below:
“Sonic’s new journey begins when him and his friends – Amy and Tails – head to the Starfall Islands in search of Chaos Emeralds,” an official description of Sonic Frontiers straight from Sega reads. “As they approach the islands, sudden trouble hits their plane, and they are sucked into a dimensional portal. Sonic then finds himself separated from his friends and awakens in a strange, digital world – Cyber Space. He miraculously escapes Cyber Space and arrives on Kronos Island, one of the Starfall Islands, full of ancient ruins where strange enemies roam. It is then up to Sonic to explore the Starfall Islands, find his lost friends and uncover the mysteries around him.”
As noted above, the newly announced Sonic Frontiers Monster Hunter DLC is set to release on November 14th.
