Despite the excitement around a pre-launch crossover event featuring iconic Sega classics like Super Monkey Ball and Altered Beast, fans of Sonic Rumble will have to wait a bit longer for its global debut. The highly anticipated multiplayer battle royale game, which had amassed over 1.4 million pre-registrations, has been delayed by Sega. But don't worry, the wait will be worth it as the team is working on a substantial update.
Sega is gearing up to release the version 1.2 update, which will bring a host of new content to the toybox world designed by Dr. Eggman. This update introduces exciting features such as Rumble Rankings, Crews, and character Skills, designed to enhance the gameplay experience. Rumble Rankings will allow players to climb seasonal leaderboards and earn rewards, while Crews enable you and your friends to tackle score missions together. The new Skills system will equip characters with special abilities, adding a layer of strategy to the game.
Instead of launching these features mid-release, Sega has decided to take the time to perfect them before the official rollout. To keep the community engaged, a Q&A session is scheduled for May 2nd on Discord, where fans can get insights into the upcoming changes and ask their burning questions.
