SEGA Stars Join Sonic Rumble for Epic Crossover Debut!

Sonic Rumble, the eagerly anticipated mobile game, has not yet launched globally but has already kicked off an exciting crossover event titled Crossover Event #0: SEGA Stars. This event is live from now until May 7th, just before the game's worldwide launch on May 8th.

Currently in soft launch, Sonic Rumble is accessible in over 40 countries. The game had its first pre-launch in Summer 2024 in regions including the Philippines, Scandinavian countries, and Colombia. The second pre-launch expanded to Canada, Turkey, Malaysia, South Africa, and more.

What’s in Store?

If you're in one of the regions where Sonic Rumble soft-launched last year, you can participate in the Sonic Rumble SEGA Stars crossover. Fans of classic SEGA titles will be thrilled to see the Altered Beast crew return, with the Werewolf transformation available for free.

For those who crave more nostalgic beast modes, the Werebear and Weredragon transformations are also on offer. The Weredragon can be unlocked via the Premium Pass, while the Werebear might be available for purchase with regular rings.

Adding a touch of Fantasy Zone, Opa-Opa and Upa-Upa join the fray. Opa-Opa is part of the Premium Pass, whereas Upa-Upa can be acquired through fragments, purchasable at 700 rings each.

Super Monkey Ball's AiAi and MeeMee have also made an appearance in the crossover. To get AiAi, you'll need to spend 729 Red Star Rings. Take a look at the event in action below.

Earn Exclusive Goodies During the Sonic Rumble SEGA Stars Crossover

During matches, you can collect SEGA logos to earn additional rewards. Although it might seem unusual for the event to be live before the global release, SEGA has assured that most of these pre-release rewards will return later.

The first crossover event of Sonic Rumble dives deep into SEGA's rich history, bringing together monkeys, sentient arcade ships, and transformed beasts alongside Sonic and friends. This blend of past and present SEGA characters makes Sonic Rumble an exciting prospect.

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