Despite a vibrant pre-launch event that brought together beloved Sega icons like Super Monkey Ball and Altered Beast, *Sonic Rumble* isn't quite ready for its global release. Originally scheduled to launch with momentum from over 1.4 million pre-registrations, the game has seen a short delay as Sega ensures everything is polished and prepared for players worldwide.
Sega recently announced the upcoming Version 1.2 update, which introduces a wealth of new content designed to enrich the gameplay experience. This update will bring meaningful additions such as Rumble Rankings, Crews, and character Skills—features aimed at enhancing the chaotic yet strategic nature of the game’s battle royale format.
New Features in Version 1.2
- Rumble Rankings: Compete across seasonal leaderboards and earn exclusive rewards based on your performance.
- Crews: Team up with friends to tackle score-based missions and dominate the battlefield together.
- Character Skills: Unlock and utilize special abilities that add a fresh layer of strategy to each match.
Instead of rushing these features into an initial launch, the development team has chosen to take the necessary time to ensure a smooth and stable rollout. To keep fans engaged and informed, Sega will be hosting a Q&A session on Discord scheduled for May 2nd. This event offers players a chance to ask questions directly and learn more about the future of *Sonic Rumble*.
While the official launch date has been postponed, rest assured that all pre-registration rewards remain intact. Players who have already signed up will still receive 5,000 Rings, a Crystal Chao Buddy, the Happy Sticker, the Garnet Knuckles skin, and the exclusive Movie Sonic skin for reaching the 1.4 million pre-registration milestone.
If you haven’t pre-registered yet, you can still do so via your preferred platform. *Sonic Rumble* is set to be a free-to-play title supported by in-app purchases. For more updates and official announcements, visit the [ttpp] website.
