Sega has thrilled fans with the announcement of the global release date for Sonic Rumble. Dive into the details about the game's launch and the exciting rewards up for grabs during its pre-registration campaign.

Sonic Rumble Coming on May 8

Sonic Rumble Global Release Date Announcement Trailer

Sega took to Twitter (X) on April 9 to announce that Sonic Rumble will hit the global market on May 8, 2025. Alongside this exciting news, they unveiled a new trailer showcasing thrilling gameplay footage.

Sonic Rumble marks the debut of a multiplayer party game within the Sonic series, allowing up to 32 players to compete in various levels and game modes. Sega describes it as, "Players control a character from the Sonic series as they navigate a toy world crafted by the notorious Dr. Eggman, tackling treacherous obstacle courses and dangerous arenas!"

As a free-to-play title, there have been concerns about potential pay-to-win mechanics. However, in an interview with Automaton at the Tokyo Game Show 2024 in September 2024, Sonic Rumble Director Makoto Tase addressed these worries. He stated, "We’re aiming for a casual system that lets you purchase exactly what you want for a small, fixed amount, rather than a gacha system that relies on chance."

Sonic Rumble Reaches Over 900k Pre-Registrations

Shortly after announcing the release date, Sega shared that Sonic Rumble has surpassed 900,000 pre-registrations. Each milestone achieved during the pre-registration campaign unlocks special in-game rewards to help players kickstart their adventure:

• 200K Pre-Registered - x5000 Rings (in-game currency)
• 400K Pre-Registered - Happy Sticker
• 600K Pre-Registered - Crystal Chao Buddy
• 900K Pre-Registered - Garnet Knuckles Skin
• ??? Pre-Registered - Movie Sonic Skin

While Sonic Rumble has yet to reach the final milestone, the specific goal remains undisclosed. Fans speculate it might be set at 1 million pre-registrations or higher, similar to other games with similar campaigns. With several weeks until the game's launch, there's plenty of time to achieve this target.

Sonic Rumble is slated for release on May 8, 2025, and will be available on iOS, Android, and PC. Stay updated with the latest news by checking out our related articles below!
