Get ready for an exciting pre-release crossover event in Sonic Rumble, featuring iconic characters from Sega's beloved franchises. Although the global launch is scheduled for May 8th, Sonic Rumble is not holding back on the action, kicking off its first event well before the official release.
This unique crossover event, available during the soft launch phase, will run from now until May 7th. During this period, players in participating regions can claim the Werewolf character from the classic game Altered Beast, absolutely free. This is a fantastic opportunity for fans to dive into the game early and grab this legendary character without spending a dime.
For those looking to expand their roster, subscribers to the Sega Star Event Pass can unlock additional characters. This includes the Weredragon, another nod to Altered Beast, and Opa-Opa, the original Sega mascot from the arcade hit Fantasy Zone. These additions not only enrich the game's universe but also bring a touch of nostalgia for long-time Sega enthusiasts.
But the excitement doesn't stop there. More characters are up for grabs through in-game purchases. The Ring Shop will feature Upa-Upa and the Werebear, while the Red Star Ring Shop introduces characters from Super Monkey Ball, including AiAi and MeeMee. These options allow players to customize their experience and showcase their favorite characters in the thrilling world of Sonic Rumble.
Hosting an event like this before the global release is certainly unusual, but it promises a thrilling start for those who can access the soft launch. If you're one of the lucky ones, you're in for a treat with these early additions to your character lineup.
Sega has teased that this is just the beginning, hinting at a packed calendar of future crossovers and collaborations for Sonic Rumble. Fans can look forward to more surprises and the chance to engage with a wide array of Sega's universe in this dynamic new game.
