Sonic Rumble, although yet to launch globally, has already kicked off an exciting crossover event dubbed Crossover Event #0: SEGA Stars. This event, featuring some of SEGA's most iconic characters, is live from now until May 7th, just ahead of the game's worldwide launch on May 8th.
Currently, Sonic Rumble is in soft launch and is accessible in over 40 countries. The game had its first pre-launch phase in Summer 2024, introducing it to regions such as the Philippines, Scandinavian countries, and Colombia. The second pre-launch extended its availability to Canada, Turkey, Malaysia, South Africa, and additional regions.
What's in Store?
If you're located in one of the countries where Sonic Rumble soft-launched last year, you're in for a treat with the Sonic Rumble SEGA Stars crossover. The event brings back the Altered Beast crew, offering the Werewolf transformation for free. Nostalgic fans can also unlock the Werebear and Weredragon, though with different payment methods. The Weredragon is exclusive to the Premium Pass, while the Werebear might be available for purchase with regular rings.
Fantasy Zone fans will be thrilled to see Opa-Opa and Upa-Upa joining the fray. Opa-Opa is part of the Premium Pass, whereas Upa-Upa can be acquired through fragments purchasable with standard rings, each costing 700.
Super Monkey Ball's AiAi and MeeMee have also made their way into the crossover. To get AiAi, players will need to spend 729 Red Star Rings. For a sneak peek at the event, check out the video below.
Earn Exclusive Goodies During the Sonic Rumble SEGA Stars Crossover
During the event, players can earn additional rewards by collecting SEGA logos during matches. While it might seem odd to have the event before the global release, SEGA has assured that most of these pre-release rewards will be available again in the future.
This first crossover event of Sonic Rumble celebrates SEGA's rich history and current lineup, bringing together monkeys, sentient arcade ships, and mythical were-creatures with Sonic and his friends. This exciting mix hints at a promising future for Sonic Rumble.
You can download Sonic Rumble from the Google Play Store or await its launch on May 8th in your region.
