SEGA Stars Join Sonic Rumble in Epic First Crossover!

Sonic Rumble has yet to hit the global stage, but it's already making waves with its exciting Crossover Event #0: SEGA Stars, which kicked off and will run until May 7th, just before the worldwide launch on May 8th. Currently in soft launch, Sonic Rumble is accessible in over 40 countries. It went through two pre-launch phases last year: the first in Summer 2024 in regions such as the Philippines, Scandinavian countries, and Colombia, and the second in places like Canada, Turkey, Malaysia, and South Africa.

What's in Store?

If you're lucky enough to be in one of the regions where Sonic Rumble soft-launched, you're in for a treat with the Sonic Rumble SEGA Stars crossover. Kicking things off, the iconic Altered Beast crew makes a comeback, with the Werewolf transformation available for free. For those nostalgic for beast modes, you can also get your hands on the Werebear and Weredragon. The Weredragon is exclusive to the Premium Pass, while the Werebear might be obtainable with regular rings.

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

Super Monkey Ball's AiAi and MeeMee have also rolled into the crossover. To get AiAi, you'll need to spend 729 Red Star Rings. For a sneak peek at the event, check out the video below.

Earn Exclusive Goodies During the Sonic Rumble SEGA Stars Crossover

During the event, you can snag extra goodies by collecting SEGA logos in matches. It might seem odd that the event is live before the global release, but SEGA has assured fans that most of these pre-release rewards will return later.

It's thrilling to see Sonic Rumble's first crossover event delve into SEGA's rich history and current lineup. The mix of monkeys, sentient arcade ships, and buff were-things interacting with Sonic and friends is what makes Sonic Rumble so promising.

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