Sonic Rumble Delayed: Sega Prepares Update

Authore: LiamUpdate:May 20,2025

Despite an exciting pre-launch crossover event featuring beloved Sega classics like Super Monkey Ball and Altered Beast, Sonic Rumble's global debut is on hold. The much-anticipated multiplayer battle royale, which has already garnered over 1.4 million pre-registrations, is taking a step back to ensure a more polished launch.

Sega is gearing up for the release of the version 1.2 update, which is set to enrich the toybox world created by Dr. Eggman with exciting new content. Key additions include Rumble Rankings, Crews, and character Skills, all designed to enhance the core gameplay experience. Rumble Rankings will introduce seasonal leaderboards where players can compete for rewards, while Crews will enable cooperative score missions with friends. The new Skills system will equip characters with unique abilities, adding a strategic layer to the game.

Instead of launching with these features mid-game, Sega has decided to delay the release to perfect the update. But don't fret—fans will have the chance to learn more about what's coming next during a Q&A session scheduled for May 2nd on Discord, where you can ask your burning questions directly.
