While the global release of Sonic Rumble is set for May 8th, the excitement doesn't stop there. The game is kicking off with an exclusive pre-release crossover event, featuring beloved characters from classic Sega titles. This unique event is a treat for those in regions where Sonic Rumble is currently in soft launch.
Starting today and running until May 7th, players can claim the Werewolf character from Altered Beast for free. This opportunity adds an exciting layer to the game, allowing players to dive into the action with iconic characters even before the official launch.
For those who subscribe to the Sega Star Event Pass, there's even more to look forward to. Subscribers can unlock the Weredragon from Altered Beast and Opa-Opa, the iconic mascot from Fantasy Zone. These additions bring a nostalgic touch to Sonic Rumble, enriching the gaming experience with characters from Sega's storied past.
The excitement continues with additional characters available through the in-game Ring Shop, including Upa-Upa and the Werebear. Meanwhile, the Red Star Ring Shop introduces characters from Super Monkey Ball, such as AiAi and MeeMee, offering players even more variety and fun.
It's quite rare to see such an event unfold before a game's official release, but it's a clear signal of the jam-packed calendar of crossovers and collaborations Sega has planned for Sonic Rumble. This is just the beginning, and fans can look forward to more exciting content in the future.
