Sega has announced a new release windows for Sonic Rumble, their 32-player battle royale spinoff game.
Sonic Rumble is now set to launch sometime next month, in November, for Windows PC (via Steam), iOS (via the App Store) and Android (via Google Play). Pre-registration is now available for the game.
The game was previously delayed to make adjustments based on earlier feedback, with a better core game, better progression and rewards, and more.
Here’s a rundown on the game and some new details, plus a trailer:
We know you’re super excited to dash, jump, and compete in the ultimate arcade royale, and guess what? So are we! Our whole journey to get this game ready for you has been all about one thing: making a game that truly lives up to the Sonic name and totally deserves your passion.
When you cross the starting line this November, you get to experience the best game we could possibly deliver to our fans. Over the last few months, Sonic Rumble has seriously evolved, with every single change aimed at making your experience better. This extra development time allowed us to roll out several, player-focused updates that refined the core game from the ground up. The goal? A super smooth, intense, and incredibly fun game right from the jump.
We took feedback directly from our Early Rumblers and have made major improvements in three key areas:
- Building a Deeper, More Dynamic Core: We added some awesome features that boost the competitive play. Use iconic skills to obstruct your opponents, and join a Crew with your friends to participate in time-limited events and earn extra rewards. Plus, we added a ton of new stages and new game modes, to keep the arcade royale chaos always at its peak.
- Refining and Streamlining the Journey: We completely revamped the new player onboarding journey to get new Rumblers into the action faster. We also drastically improved the user interface by putting all mission and achievement-related tasks into one easy-to-navigate hub, so you spend more time playing and less time searching.
- Improving Progression and Rewards: We carefully updated and simplified the cosmetic and character progression systems, making sure every unlock feels meaningful and impactful, while making upgrades less of a chore. We also fine-tuned the game’s rewards and shop systems to create a clear, generous, and exciting progression path for all players. This even included expanding the score ranks and simplifying certain achievements to make every accomplishment feel like a celebrated win.
These adjustments were key in making Sonic Rumble awesome for the long haul. Even as we get ready for launch, our commitment continues and there will be plenty more to come!
