Sonic Rumble, although not yet globally launched, has already kicked off an exciting crossover event dubbed Crossover Event #0: SEGA Stars. This event is live from now until May 7th, just before the game's worldwide launch on May 8th. Currently in soft launch, Sonic Rumble is available in over 40 countries. It had its first pre-launch in Summer 2024 in regions such as the Philippines, Scandinavian countries, and Colombia, followed by a second pre-launch in Canada, Turkey, Malaysia, South Africa, and more.
What’s in Store?
If you're in one of the regions where Sonic Rumble soft-launched last year, you can participate in the Sonic Rumble SEGA Stars crossover. The event brings back the Altered Beast crew, offering the Werewolf transformation for free. Nostalgic fans can also get the Werebear and Weredragon transformations, with the Weredragon available through the Premium Pass and the Werebear possibly purchasable with regular rings.
Adding a touch of Fantasy Zone, Opa-Opa and Upa-Upa join the fray. Opa-Opa is part of the Premium Pass, while Upa-Upa can be obtained through fragments bought with standard rings, each costing 700 rings.
Super Monkey Ball's AiAi and MeeMee have also rolled into the crossover. To get AiAi, you'll need 729 Red Star Rings. You can get a glimpse of the crossover event in the video below.
Earn Exclusive Goodies During the Sonic Rumble SEGA Stars Crossover
During the event, you can earn extra goodies by collecting SEGA logos during matches. Although it might seem unusual for the event to be live before the global release, SEGA has assured that most of these pre-release rewards will return later.
It's thrilling to see Sonic Rumble's first crossover event delve into SEGA's rich history, bringing together monkeys, sentient arcade ships, and were-creatures with Sonic and friends. This blend of characters makes Sonic Rumble a promising addition to the gaming world.
You can download Sonic Rumble from the Google Play Store or wait for its global release on May 8th in your region.
