Despite the buzz generated by its high-profile pre-launch crossover event featuring iconic Sega titles like *Super Monkey Ball* and *Altered Beast*, *Sonic Rumble* won’t be launching globally just yet. Originally slated for a full release following an enthusiastic response with over 1.4 million pre-registrations, the game has seen a short delay as Sega ensures everything is perfectly tuned for players.
The wait, however, isn't without reward. Sega is currently preparing version 1.2 of *Sonic Rumble*, an update packed with exciting new content that promises to enhance the gameplay experience in Dr. Eggman’s chaotic toybox world. This update will introduce key features such as Rumble Rankings, Crews, and a brand-new Skills system—all designed to add depth and replayability to the battle royale action.
- Rumble Rankings – Compete across seasonal leaderboards and earn exclusive rewards as you climb the ranks.
- Crews – Team up with friends to tackle score-based missions together, making every match more strategic and social.
- Character Skills – Unlock and equip special abilities for your favorite characters, adding a fresh layer of tactical play to every encounter.
Rather than rushing these updates out during launch, Sega has chosen to take the necessary time to ensure a polished and well-balanced experience for all players. The extra care means fans can look forward to a more refined game when it finally drops.
In the meantime, a special Q&A session will be held on Discord on May 2nd, where developers will share more details about the upcoming release and answer any questions from the community. It's the perfect opportunity to get the latest scoop directly from the source.

While the official launch is delayed, the momentum remains strong. All pre-registration rewards are still available to claim once the game launches, including:
- 5,000 Rings
- Crystal Chao Buddy
- Happy Sticker
- Garnet Knuckles Skin
- Movie Sonic Skin (for hitting the 1.4 million pre-registration milestone)
This generous lineup ensures you’ll start off with a powerful collection of items and cosmetics right from the beginning.
