Despite a dazzling pre-launch crossover event featuring Super Monkey Ball, Altered Beast, and other Sega classics, Sonic Rumble isn't quite ready for its global debut. This multiplayer battle royale game had been gearing up for a full launch, buoyed by over 1.4 million pre-registrations. However, Sega has decided to delay the release, giving the team more time to polish the experience.
The delay coincides with the preparation of the version 1.2 update, which is set to revolutionize Dr. Eggman's toybox world with exciting new content. This update introduces Rumble Rankings, Crews, and character Skills, significantly enhancing the core gameplay. With Rumble Rankings, players can climb seasonal leaderboards to earn rewards, while Crews enable collaborative score missions with friends. The new Skills system adds strategic depth by equipping characters with unique abilities.
Rather than launching with these features mid-game, Sega has chosen to delay the release to ensure everything is perfect. In the meantime, a Q&A session is scheduled for May 2nd on Discord, where fans can learn more about upcoming developments and ask their questions directly.

The delay won't affect the momentum Sonic Rumble has already gained. All pre-registration rewards, including 5,000 Rings, a Crystal Chao Buddy, the Happy Sticker, the Garnet Knuckles skin, and the Movie Sonic skin for reaching the 1.4 million pre-registration milestone, are still secured. When the game finally launches, you'll start with a fantastic collection of bonuses.
