Sonic Rumble, though yet to be globally launched, has already kicked off an exciting crossover event dubbed Crossover Event #0: SEGA Stars. This event is live now and will run until May 7th, just before the game's worldwide launch on May 8th. Currently in soft launch, Sonic Rumble is accessible 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 unlock the Werebear and Weredragon, though with different payment methods. The Weredragon is part of the Premium Pass, while the Werebear can be purchased with regular rings.
Adding to the excitement, Fantasy Zone's Opa-Opa and Upa-Upa join the fray. Opa-Opa is included in the Premium Pass, and Upa-Upa can be obtained through fragments, each costing 700 standard rings. Super Monkey Ball's AiAi and MeeMee also make an appearance. 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 additional rewards by collecting SEGA logos in matches. While it may 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. This first crossover event showcases a rich blend of SEGA's past and present, featuring monkeys, sentient arcade ships, and transformed beasts interacting with Sonic and friends, making Sonic Rumble a promising title.
You can download Sonic Rumble from the Google Play Store or wait for its global release on May 8th in your region. For more gaming news, check out our coverage on Vampire Survivors’ SaGa-Based DLC Emerald Diorama along with the Cross-Save Update.
