Despite an exciting pre-launch crossover event showcasing beloved Sega classics like Super Monkey Ball and Altered Beast, the global debut of Sonic Rumble has been delayed. Initially set for a full launch buoyed by over 1.4 million pre-registrations, Sega has decided to postpone the release of this multiplayer battle royale.
The delay is to allow for the integration of the version 1.2 update, which introduces significant new content to Dr. Eggman's toybox world. This update features Rumble Rankings, Crews, and character Skills, designed to enrich the gameplay experience. Rumble Rankings will offer seasonal leaderboards for rewards, Crews will enable you and your friends to tackle score missions together, and the Skills system will enhance strategic play by equipping characters with unique abilities.
Rather than rushing the update post-launch, Sega is taking extra time to perfect these additions. In the meantime, fans can look forward to a Q&A session on May 2nd via Discord, where they can learn more about upcoming features and ask their questions directly.
