By HenryMay 16,2025

While the global release of Sonic Rumble is slated for May 8th, fans won't have to wait long to dive into the excitement. The game is set to kick things off with a thrilling pre-release crossover event, featuring beloved characters from Sega's rich gaming history. This event, running from now until May 7th, is a treat for those in regions where Sonic Rumble is currently in soft launch.

Starting off, you can claim the Werewolf character, inspired by the iconic Altered Beast, absolutely free. For those looking to delve deeper into the crossover, subscribing to the Sega Star Event Pass unlocks even more characters. This includes the Weredragon from Altered Beast and Opa-Opa, the original Sega mascot from the classic arcade game Fantasy Zone.

It's unusual to see such an event before the official release, but it's a welcome surprise for those fortunate enough to participate. This crossover is just the beginning of what Sega promises to be a packed calendar of exciting collaborations and events for Sonic Rumble.
