Ugh, where do I even start? So, SEGA’s cooking up something for all you Sonic fans out there. Yep, they’re throwing out this Sonic Racing CrossWorlds animation in September. Kind of like a teaser or promo for their new kart racing game. Did I see it coming? Maybe. SEGA loves to surprise us with these things.
Okay, so let’s talk about the game for a sec. It’s not just any track—you’ve got land, air, and sea. Kind of a mad cocktail of terrains, right? Oh, and there’s this new thing called Travel Rings. Not your average gizmo—they zap racers to mysterious CrossWorlds while they’re zooming around. Kind of like teleportation on steroids? No idea why I find that amusing, but here we are.
Now, if you’re into Sonic (like, really into it), you’ll freak out at the character lineup—they’re saying it’s the biggest yet in any Sonic racing game. Mix and match your rides, slap on some powers, and boom, you’ve got a personalized beast of a kart. Sounds daunting? Maybe. But imagine the chaos!
And now for the plot twist: SEGA’s weaving in characters from their other gangs, like Persona 5’s Joker and that dude Kasuga from Like A Dragon. Wait, and Hatsune Miku? Didn’t see that coming. Not gonna lie, that’s one heck of a guest list.
Here’s the kicker, though—there’s also a Digital Deluxe Edition. Why? More characters, more chaos! Ever heard of Sonic Prime? Yeah, characters from that show up too. And a Season Pass with odds and ends from things like Minecraft. SEGA really outdid itself here.
For all you specifics lovers, they laid out the game’s features. Travel Rings sound wild, like a surprise every few seconds. And gadgets! Over 70 of those things to tweak your speed or whatever else. It’s like getting a mystery box. Also, remember those Extreme Gear flying boards from Sonic Riders? They’re back, apparently. Maybe for nostalgia’s sake?
Mark your calendars for September 25, 2025. It drops both physically and digitally on the Nintendo Switch. Oh, and for those waiting on a Switch 2 version, patience is a virtue. It’s coming, eventually.
In other news, there’s a teaser out there for the animation. No clue how it looks because I missed it. Figures, right?
