Sonic Rumble Global Release Date Announcement Trailer

Sega took to Twitter (X) on April 9 to announce that Sonic Rumble will be hitting the global market on May 8, 2025. Alongside this exciting news, they released a captivating trailer showcasing thrilling gameplay footage.

Sonic Rumble marks the first multiplayer party game in the Sonic series, allowing up to 32 players to engage in fierce competition across various levels and gameplay modes. Sega describes the game as an adventure where players, controlling characters from the Sonic universe, navigate through a toy world crafted by the nefarious Dr. Eggman. This world is filled with challenging obstacle courses and hazardous arenas!

As a free-to-play title, there were concerns about potential pay-to-win mechanics. However, Sonic Rumble Director Makoto Tase addressed these concerns during an interview with Automaton at the Tokyo Game Show 2024 in September. He reassured fans, stating, "We’re aiming for a casual system that allows you to just buy what you want quickly for a small, fixed amount, rather than a gacha system that gives you a certain probability of obtaining items."

Sonic Rumble Reaches Over 900k Pre-Registrations

Following the release date announcement, Sega shared that Sonic Rumble has surpassed 900,000 pre-registrations. Each milestone achieved during the pre-registration campaign offers players enticing in-game rewards to kickstart their adventure.
