Sonic Rumble Delayed: Sega Prepares Update

Despite a vibrant pre-launch crossover event featuring beloved Sega classics like Super Monkey Ball and Altered Beast, Sonic Rumble's global debut is being postponed. Initially poised for a full launch with over 1.4 million pre-registrations, Sega has decided to delay the release to refine the gaming experience.

The team at Sega is working on the version 1.2 update, which will introduce exciting new content to the toybox world designed by Dr. Eggman. This update includes Rumble Rankings, Crews, and character Skills, all designed to enhance the core gameplay and provide players with more engaging objectives beyond simply winning.

With Rumble Rankings, players can compete on seasonal leaderboards to earn rewards. Crews will enable you and your friends to team up for score missions, adding a cooperative element to the game. Additionally, the new Skills system will equip characters with unique abilities, adding a strategic layer to the gameplay.

Rather than rushing these features out during the initial launch, Sega has chosen to delay the release to ensure everything is polished to perfection. In the meantime, a Q&A session is scheduled for May 2nd on Discord, where fans can get updates and ask any questions they have about the game's future.

The delay won't affect the rewards promised during pre-registration. Players can still look forward to receiving 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. These rewards will be ready and waiting when Sonic Rumble finally launches.
