Battle Royale Party Game Sonic Rumble Arrives This May

Sonic Rumble, the multiplayer platformer that pits over two dozen players against each other, will be released on May 8. The title was first announced last summer and was slated for release that winter before a delay pushed it into 2025. 

Up to 32 players take on the roles of different Sonic characters, taking the form of toy figurines, in a frantic race to the finish line. Players must collect rings and use power-ups to maintain an advantage while hindering opponents, with players gradually eliminated throughout the round. Each character can utilize skills to engender strategic play, and the launch will introduce crews allowing small groups of players to overcome obstacles as a team. Collected rings can then be spent unlocking new cosmetic items to customize characters.
