SEGA Stars Join Sonic Rumble for Epic First Crossover!

Sonic Rumble, although not yet globally launched, has already introduced an exciting crossover event known as Crossover Event #0: SEGA Stars. This event is live from now until May 7th, right before the game's worldwide launch on May 8th. Currently in soft launch, Sonic Rumble is accessible in over 40 countries. It had its first pre-launch in Summer 2024 in regions such as the Philippines, Scandinavian countries, and Colombia, followed by a second pre-launch in areas like Canada, Turkey, Malaysia, and South Africa.

What’s in Store?

If you're located in one of the regions where Sonic Rumble soft-launched last year, you can participate in the Sonic Rumble SEGA Stars crossover. Fans of Altered Beast will be thrilled to know that the Werewolf transformation is available for free. Nostalgic beast modes enthusiasts can also obtain the Werebear and Weredragon, though the acquisition method varies. The Weredragon is part of the Premium Pass, while the Werebear can be purchased with regular rings.

The event also brings in elements from Fantasy Zone, featuring Opa-Opa and Upa-Upa. Opa-Opa is included in the Premium Pass, whereas Upa-Upa can be acquired through fragments bought with standard rings, with each fragment costing 700 rings.

Super Monkey Ball's AiAi and MeeMee have also joined the fray in the Sonic Rumble SEGA Stars crossover. To get AiAi, you'll need to spend 729 Red Star Rings. For a glimpse of the event, check out the video below.

Earn Exclusive Goodies During the Sonic Rumble SEGA Stars Crossover

During the event, players can earn additional rewards by collecting SEGA logos during matches. Although it might seem odd to have the event before the global release, SEGA has assured that most of these pre-release rewards will be available again later.

This inaugural crossover event showcases a delightful blend of SEGA's past and present, featuring monkeys, sentient arcade ships, and transformed beasts interacting with Sonic and his friends, making Sonic Rumble a promising addition to the gaming world.

You can download Sonic Rumble from the Google Play Store or wait for its release on May 8th in your region.
