While fans eagerly anticipated the launch of Sonic Rumble, the game's global debut has been delayed. Despite a vibrant pre-launch crossover event that showcased iconic Sega characters like those from Super Monkey Ball and Altered Beast, the multiplayer battle royale, which had already amassed over 1.4 million pre-registrations, will not be rolling out as initially planned. Sega has decided to hit pause on the release to fine-tune their upcoming version 1.2 update.
The much-anticipated update 1.2 is set to revolutionize the toybox world crafted by Dr. Eggman, introducing exciting new features such as Rumble Rankings, Crews, and character Skills. These additions are designed to enrich the core gameplay experience, offering players more than just the thrill of a chaotic victory. Rumble Rankings will enable players to ascend seasonal leaderboards and earn rewards, while Crews will foster teamwork as players and their friends tackle score missions together. The Skills system will equip characters with unique powers, adding a strategic layer to the gameplay.
Rather than hastily implementing these changes during the launch, Sega has chosen to delay the release to ensure everything is polished to perfection. Fans can look forward to a Q&A session on Discord scheduled for May 2nd, where they can learn more about what's coming and ask their burning questions directly.
