Although Sonic Rumble had a dazzling pre-launch crossover event showcasing iconic Sega titles like Super Monkey Ball and Altered Beast, fans will have to wait a bit longer for its global release. Despite surpassing 1.4 million pre-registrations and setting the stage for a full launch, Sega has decided to delay Sonic Rumble's debut.
The reason behind this delay is the upcoming version 1.2 update, which Sega is diligently preparing. This update will introduce exciting new content to the toybox world created by Dr. Eggman, including features such as Rumble Rankings, Crews, and character Skills. These enhancements are designed to enrich the game's core mechanics, offering players more than just the thrill of victory.
With Rumble Rankings, players can compete on seasonal leaderboards to earn rewards, while the Crews feature enables you and your friends to tackle score missions collaboratively. Additionally, the new Skills system will equip characters with unique abilities, adding a strategic element to the gameplay.
Instead of hastily integrating these updates at launch, Sega has chosen to take the necessary time to refine them. In the meantime, a Q&A session is scheduled for May 2nd on Discord, providing an opportunity for fans to get insights into the upcoming changes and voice their queries.

All pre-registration rewards, including 5,000 Rings, a Crystal Chao Buddy, the Happy Sticker, the Garnet Knuckles skin, and the exclusive Movie Sonic skin for reaching 1.4 million pre-registrations, remain intact. When Sonic Rumble finally launches, you'll start with a fantastic array of bonuses.
