Sega Delays Sonic Rumble for Upcoming Update

Despite an exciting pre-launch crossover event featuring classics like Super Monkey Ball and Altered Beast, Sonic Rumble is not set to make its global debut just yet. The eagerly anticipated multiplayer battle royale game, which had amassed over 1.4 million pre-registrations, has been delayed by Sega. But don't worry, this pause is for a good reason.

Sega is gearing up for the release of version 1.2, which will introduce a plethora of new content to enhance the toybox world created by Dr. Eggman. This update includes exciting features such as Rumble Rankings, Crews, and character Skills. These additions are designed to enrich the gameplay experience, offering players more than just the thrill of a chaotic victory.

With Rumble Rankings, you'll have the chance to climb seasonal leaderboards and earn rewards, while Crews will let you team up with friends to tackle score missions together. The new Skills system will equip characters with unique powers, adding a strategic element to your battles.

Instead of rushing these updates out during the initial launch, Sega has decided to take the extra time needed to perfect them. In the meantime, a Q&A session is scheduled for May 2nd on Discord. This is your opportunity to learn more about what's coming and to ask any questions you might have.
