While the worldwide release of Sonic Rumble is still on the horizon, set for May 8th, the excitement is already building with a pre-release crossover event that's sure to delight fans. This isn't just any crossover; it's a celebration of Sega's iconic characters from past and present, making their way into the Sonic Rumble universe!
This unique event kicks off before the global launch and is available to those in regions where Sonic Rumble is currently in soft launch. From now until May 7th, you have the chance to claim the Werewolf character, inspired by the classic game Altered Beast, absolutely free. It's a fantastic opportunity to add a legendary character to your roster without spending a dime.
For those looking to dive deeper into the crossover, subscribers to the Sega Star Event Pass can unlock even more exclusive characters. This includes the Weredragon from Altered Beast and Opa-Opa, the beloved first mascot from the arcade hit Fantasy Zone. These additions not only enhance your gameplay but also bring a nostalgic touch to your Sonic Rumble experience.
But wait, there's more! The in-game Ring Shop will offer additional characters like Upa-Upa and the Werebear, while the Red Star Ring Shop introduces characters from Super Monkey Ball, including AiAi and MeeMee. Whether you're looking to purchase or earn these characters, there's something for everyone in this event.
It's quite unusual to see such an event before a game's official release, but it's a thrilling preview of what's to come. If you're among the fortunate ones with access to the soft launch, you're in for a treat. And don't worry, this is just the beginning. Sega has promised a packed calendar of crossovers and collaborations for Sonic Rumble, ensuring that the fun never stops.
On a different note, keep an eye out for upcoming releases. Finnish developer Supercell is gearing up for another rare launch. Check out our Mo.co preview to learn more about this quirky, monster-hunting part-timer simulator, soon to be available on iOS and Android!
