While the global release of Sonic Rumble is still a few weeks away on May 8th, the excitement is already building with a pre-release crossover event that's sure to thrill fans. This isn't just any crossover; it's a celebration of Sega's rich gaming heritage, featuring beloved characters from iconic titles like Altered Beast, Fantasy Zone, and Super Monkey Ball.
Starting today and running until May 7th, players in regions where Sonic Rumble is in soft launch can snag the Werewolf character from Altered Beast at no cost. It's a fantastic opportunity to dive into the action early and claim a piece of gaming history for free.
For those looking to enhance their roster further, the Sega Star Event Pass offers exclusive access to the Weredragon from Altered Beast and Opa-Opa, the original Sega mascot from Fantasy Zone. It's a chance to experience the nostalgia and power of these legendary characters.
If you're feeling lucky, head over to the in-game Ring Shop where you can purchase additional characters like Upa-Upa and the Werebear. Meanwhile, the Red Star Ring Shop is your go-to for characters from Super Monkey Ball, including AiAi and MeeMee, adding even more variety to your gameplay.
It's unusual yet exciting to see such an event unfold before the official release, and those fortunate enough to participate in the soft launch are in for a treat. Sega has promised that this is just the beginning, with a packed calendar of crossovers and collaborations planned for Sonic Rumble.
On a side note, keep an eye out for another exciting release on the horizon. Finnish developer Supercell is gearing up for a rare launch with their quirky, monster-hunting part-timer simulator.
