Global Launch Postponement Announcement
We'd like to update you on the status of Sonic Rumble's Global Launch. Over the past few months, we've been working hard to bring the game to life, and we're incredibly grateful for the valuable feedback we've received from players during the Pre-Launch period.
The excitement and positive response from all of you has been truly amazing!
Thanks to your incredible support, we've surpassed 1.4 million pre-registrations, a milestone that speaks volumes about your passion for Sonic Rumble. With this level of excitement, we feel an even greater responsibility to deliver an experience worthy of your time.
We're also very proud of the amazing positive response Sonic Rumble has already received, with App Store ratings averaging 4.8.
As we prepare for Update 1.2, we'll be introducing several exciting new features:
・Rumble Ranking -Compete within the league you belong to based on the scores you earn during the period and get rewards according to your final ranking.
・Crews -Create a Rumbler group with your in-game friends, and achieve score missions together.
・Skills - Equip characters with unique abilities, adding a new layer of gameplay depth.
We'll be sharing more details about these new features in the coming days, so even if you can't participate yet, you'll be able to stay in the loop and share your thoughts with us.
These upcoming changes will fundamentally reshape the game, and one thing has become clear: We want to create a game that evolves and stays fun for months and years to come. To build the kind of high-quality, long-lasting Sonic game our players deserve, we need more time.
As a result, we've decided to postpone the Global Launch. We know this news may be disappointing, and it wasn't a decision we made lightly. We at SEGA share that disappointment, especially because we're making this call so close to the launch timing we had originally hoped for. However, we believe taking this extra time is the right choice for the future of Sonic Rumble.
We don't have a new release date to share yet, but as soon as we get closer, we'll update you through our social media and community channels.
When we say your support means the world to us, we truly mean it. A strong community sticks together, and we'd love for you to join us for a special Q&A session on Discord, scheduled for May 2 at 1:00 PM UTC / 6:00 AM PDT / 4:00 PM EEST. We'll answer your questions about the new features, the delay, the next steps, and more!
Your love and support mean the world to us. We are truly grateful.
