Sega Delays Sonic Rumble, Plans Update

Despite a dazzling pre-launch crossover event featuring beloved Sega classics like Super Monkey Ball and Altered Beast, fans of Sonic Rumble will need 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 had its launch delayed as Sega gears up for the significant version 1.2 update.

The upcoming update 1.2 is set to revolutionize the toybox world of Dr. Eggman with exciting new features such as Rumble Rankings, Crews, and character Skills. These additions are designed to enhance the core gameplay experience, offering players more than just the thrill of a chaotic victory.

With Rumble Rankings, players can ascend seasonal leaderboards to earn rewards, while Crews enable you and your friends to tackle score missions collaboratively. The introduction of the Skills system will equip characters with unique abilities, adding a layer of strategic depth to the game.

Rather than hastily rolling out these updates mid-launch, Sega has chosen to delay the release to ensure everything is polished to perfection. In the meantime, a Q&A session is scheduled for May 2nd on Discord, providing an opportunity for fans to learn about upcoming developments and ask their burning questions.

When the game finally launches, you'll be well-equipped with a generous starting stash.
