Sonic Rumble Delayed: Sega Preps Update

Despite a vibrant pre-launch crossover event showcasing beloved Sega classics like Super Monkey Ball and Altered Beast, Sonic Rumble's global debut is being postponed. The multiplayer battle royale game, which had already amassed over 1.4 million pre-registrations, is now on hold as Sega fine-tunes its release.

The delay is to ensure the inclusion of the eagerly anticipated version 1.2 update. This update will introduce exciting new features such as Rumble Rankings, Crews, and character Skills, all aimed at enhancing the gameplay experience within Dr. Eggman’s toybox world. Rumble Rankings will enable players to climb seasonal leaderboards for exclusive rewards, while Crews will foster teamwork through score missions. The new Skills system will equip characters with unique abilities, adding a strategic layer to the game.

Instead of a hurried release, Sega has chosen to delay Sonic Rumble to perfect these additions. Fans can look forward to a Q&A session on Discord scheduled for May 2nd, where they can learn more about the upcoming changes and ask their burning questions.

These rewards will be ready for you when Sonic Rumble finally launches.
