Big the Cat will return in Sonic Frontiers, and he will bring his recognizable fishing gameplay with him, according to a recent leak.

That character is Big the Cat, the friendly fisher who first appeared in Sonic Adventure and then frequently reappeared in subsequently released video games and other media. 

According to leaks, Big will let players use fishing to unlock various features in the forthcoming Sonic game, doing what he does best with Sonic.

An iconic Sonic Adventure feature will be present in the upcoming Sonic Frontiers, but it won’t be the Chao Garden. After Sonic Adventure in 1998, the fishing minigame is making its first appearance in almost 20 years. The information was discovered by a Twitter user.

According to the narrative, Big the Cat was discovered using one of the game’s Cyber Space portals, which send Sonic to a more compact linear stage distinct from the expansive open zones. Fans may recall that Big the Cat was the protagonist of one of Sonic Adventure’s campaigns, which featured the big, purple cat going fishing.

The player receives tokens for fishing in Frontiers, which they can use to “purchase a variety of stuff, such as Portal Gear fragments, voice journals, Vault Keys, or even the sequence items, such as Amy’s heart treasures.” It should be mentioned that if players want to fish more, they will need to pay Big for some purple coins that they can find throughout the planet.

Sonic Frontiers won’t have a specific release date
