SEGA Stars Join Sonic Rumble in Historic Crossover Event!

Sonic Rumble, though not yet globally launched, has already kicked off an exciting crossover event dubbed Crossover Event #0: SEGA Stars. This event is live from now until May 7th, just before the game's worldwide launch on May 8th. Currently in soft launch, Sonic Rumble is accessible in over 40 countries. It had its first pre-launch in Summer 2024 in regions such as the Philippines, Scandinavian countries, and Colombia, followed by a second pre-launch in Canada, Turkey, Malaysia, South Africa, and more.

What’s in Store?

If you're in one of the regions where Sonic Rumble soft-launched last year, you can participate in the Sonic Rumble SEGA Stars crossover. The event brings back the Altered Beast crew, offering the Werewolf transformation for free. Nostalgic fans can also unlock the Werebear and Weredragon transformations, though with different payment methods. The Weredragon is exclusive to the Premium Pass, while the Werebear can be purchased with regular rings.

Adding to the excitement, characters from Fantasy Zone, Opa-Opa and Upa-Upa, join the fray. Opa-Opa is available through the Premium Pass, whereas Upa-Upa can be obtained using fragments bought with standard rings, each costing 700 rings.

Super Monkey Ball's AiAi and MeeMee have also made their way into the crossover. To get AiAi, you'll need to spend 729 Red Star Rings. You can get a closer look at the event in the video below.

Earn Exclusive Goodies During the Sonic Rumble SEGA Stars Crossover

During the event, you can earn additional rewards by collecting SEGA logos in matches. Although it might seem unusual for the event to be live before the global release, SEGA has assured that most of these pre-release rewards will be available again later.

This inaugural crossover event showcases a rich blend of SEGA's past and present, featuring monkeys, sentient arcade ships, and transformed beasts interacting with Sonic and his friends, making Sonic Rumble a highly anticipated title.

You can download Sonic Rumble from the Google Play Store now or wait for its global release on May 8th in your region.
