Sonic Rumble Global Release Date Announcement Trailer

On April 9, Sega took to Twitter (X) to announce that Sonic Rumble will launch globally on May 8, 2025. Accompanying the announcement was a captivating trailer showcasing gameplay footage, which you can watch above.

As a free-to-play game, Sonic Rumble has sparked discussions about potential pay-to-win mechanics. However, Director Makoto Tase addressed these concerns during an interview at the Tokyo Game Show 2024 in September. He clarified that the game will feature a straightforward purchase system, allowing players to buy desired items directly for a small, fixed amount, rather than relying on a gacha system.

Sonic Rumble Reaches Over 900k Pre-Registrations

Following the release date announcement, Sega disclosed that Sonic Rumble has surpassed 900,000 pre-registrations. This impressive milestone comes with exciting in-game rewards for players, designed to give them a head start in the game:

• 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

Although the final milestone for the pre-registration campaign has not been disclosed, it's speculated that it might be set at 1 million or more, similar to other games with comparable campaigns. With several weeks remaining until the game's launch, there's still plenty of time for Sonic Rumble to reach this goal.

Sonic Rumble is scheduled for release on May 8, 2025, on iOS, Android, and PC. To keep up with the latest updates and information about the game, make sure to check out our detailed article below!
