While the global release of Sonic Rumble is still on the horizon, set for May 8th, the excitement is already building with a pre-release crossover event that brings together iconic characters from Sega's rich gaming history. This event is not your typical crossover; it's a celebration of Sega's legacy, featuring stars from past and present!
Starting today and running until May 7th, players in regions where Sonic Rumble is in soft launch can participate in this unique event. Fans can claim the Werewolf character from the classic game Altered Beast for free. It's a fantastic opportunity to get a taste of what's to come before the official launch.
For those who subscribe to the Sega Star Event Pass, there are even more treats in store. You'll have access to the Weredragon, another character from Altered Beast, as well as Opa-Opa, the beloved mascot from the arcade hit Fantasy Zone.
But that's not all! The in-game Ring Shop will offer additional characters like Upa-Upa and the Werebear. Meanwhile, the Red Star Ring Shop will feature characters from Super Monkey Ball, including AiAi and MeeMee, available for purchase.
It's quite unusual to see such a significant event occur before a game's full release, but it's a thrilling prospect for those who can access it during the soft launch. If you're one of the lucky ones, you're in for a treat with these iconic characters.
This event is just the beginning, as Sega has promised a packed calendar of crossovers and collaborations for Sonic Rumble. Fans can look forward to more exciting events and character integrations in the future.
On a different note, if you're interested in upcoming releases, Finnish developer Supercell is gearing up for another rare launch. Check out our Mo.co preview to learn more about this quirky, monster-hunting part-timer simulator, set to hit iOS and Android soon!
