Sonic Rumble Global Release Date Announcement Trailer

On April 9, Sega took to Twitter (X) to announce that Sonic Rumble will be hitting the global market on May 8, 2025. Accompanying this exciting news was a fresh trailer showcasing captivating gameplay footage. Sonic Rumble introduces the first multiplayer party game in the Sonic series, where up to 32 players can battle it out across diverse levels and gameplay modes. Sega describes the game as follows: "Players control a character from the Sonic series as they navigate a toy world crafted by the nefarious Dr. Eggman, tackling challenging obstacle courses and perilous arenas!"

As a free-to-play title, Sonic Rumble has sparked discussions about potential pay-to-win elements. However, Director Makoto Tase addressed these concerns during an interview with Automaton at the Tokyo Game Show 2024 in September 2024. He stated, "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 announcement of Sonic Rumble's release date, Sega disclosed that the game has now surpassed 900,000 pre-registrations. Achieving various pre-registration milestones unlocks in-game rewards, setting players up for a thrilling start:

• 200K Pre-Registered - x5000 Rings (in-game currency)
• 400K Pre-Registered - Happy Sticker
• 600K Pre-Registered - Crystal Chao Buddy
• 900K Pre-Registered - Garnet Knuckles Skin
• ??? Pre-Registered - Movie Sonic Skin

Currently, Sonic Rumble is still striving to reach the final milestone of its pre-registration campaign. Although the exact goal remains undisclosed, it's speculated to be around 1 million pre-registrations or more, similar to other games with similar campaigns. With several weeks left before the game's launch on May 8, 2025, there's plenty of time for the community to push towards this target.
