SEGA Stars Join Sonic Rumble for Epic First Crossover!

Sonic Rumble may not have launched globally yet, but it's already making waves with its exciting Crossover Event #0: SEGA Stars, live now until May 7th, just before its worldwide launch on May 8th. This event showcases a delightful mashup of some of SEGA's most beloved characters and is available to players in over 40 countries where the game is currently in soft launch.

During its pre-launch phases, Sonic Rumble made its debut in various regions. Pre-launch 1 in Summer 2024 saw the game roll out in places like the Philippines, Scandinavian countries, and Colombia. Pre-launch 2 expanded its reach to Canada, Turkey, Malaysia, South Africa, and more. If you're in one of these regions, you're in for a treat with the Sonic Rumble SEGA Stars crossover.

What’s in Store?

The crossover event brings back the iconic Altered Beast crew, offering the Werewolf transformation for free. For those who cherish the nostalgic beast modes, the Werebear and Weredragon are also available, though with different acquisition methods. The Weredragon is part of the Premium Pass, while the Werebear can be purchased with regular rings.

Adding to the excitement, characters from Fantasy Zone, Opa-Opa and Upa-Upa, join the fray. Opa-Opa is included in the Premium Pass, while Upa-Upa can be obtained through fragments bought with standard rings, with each fragment costing 700 rings.

Super Monkey Ball's AiAi and MeeMee also make an appearance in the Sonic Rumble SEGA Stars crossover. To get AiAi, you'll need to spend 729 Red Star Rings. To get a better look at this thrilling event, check out the video below:

Players can earn additional rewards by collecting SEGA logos during matches. Although it might seem unusual for the event to be live before the global release, SEGA has confirmed that most of these pre-release rewards will return later. This initial crossover event is a testament to Sonic Rumble's potential, bringing together monkeys, sentient arcade ships, and were-creatures with Sonic and friends in a thrilling mix.

If you're in a region where Sonic Rumble is available, you can download it from the Google Play Store. For others, mark your calendars for May 8th when it officially launches worldwide.
