While the global release of Sonic Rumble is still on the horizon, set for May 8th, the excitement is already building with a pre-release crossover event that's sure to delight fans. This isn't just any crossover; it's a celebration of Sega's rich history, bringing together beloved characters from iconic games.
From now until May 7th, players in regions where Sonic Rumble is in soft launch can claim the Werewolf character from Altered Beast for free. This event, happening before the worldwide launch, is a special treat for those lucky enough to participate.
For those with the Sega Star Event Pass, there's even more to look forward to. You'll have the chance to unlock the Weredragon from Altered Beast and Opa-Opa, Sega's first mascot from the classic arcade game Fantasy Zone.
But that's not all! The in-game Ring Shop will offer additional characters, including Upa-Upa and the Werebear. Meanwhile, the Red Star Ring Shop will feature characters from Super Monkey Ball, with AiAi and MeeMee available for purchase.
It's quite unusual to see such an event before a game's official release, but it's a thrilling start for Sonic Rumble. If you're one of the fortunate players with early access, you're in for a treat with these iconic characters.
Sega has hinted that this is just the beginning of a packed schedule of crossovers and collaborations planned for Sonic Rumble, so fans have plenty to look forward to.
