The gaming landscape is set to witness an exciting expansion as Sonic Racing CrossWorlds broadens its character roster beyond the beloved Sonic universe. This development was unveiled during the recent Summer Game Fest, where it was revealed that iconic figures from various franchises will now join the ranks of Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles.
New Characters Join the Race
Among the new additions are:
- Joker from the acclaimed Persona 5
- Ichiban from the Like A Dragon series
- Hatsune Miku, the renowned Vocaloid artist
- Steve from the ever-popular Minecraft
This eclectic mix of characters promises to bring a fresh dynamic to the racing experience, appealing to a diverse audience of gamers.
During the event, Sonic Team’s Takashi Iizuka took the stage with a playful tone, highlighting that Sonic Racing CrossWorlds will feature cross-play capabilities, a notable distinction from “a certain other kart racer.” This feature is expected to enhance the multiplayer experience, allowing players from different platforms to compete against one another seamlessly.
Set to launch on September 25th, Sonic Racing CrossWorlds will be available across multiple platforms, including PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, Nintendo Switch, and PC via Steam and Epic Games. The introduction of Travel Rings will also allow racers to traverse into various dimensions, adding an innovative twist to the gameplay.
