SEGA is ready to race to different worlds with an all-new Sonic Racing game called Sonic Racing: Crossworlds. In the latest State of Play, new gameplay footage was shown and SEGa fans will be astonished by what to expect on its release.
Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds is introducing a unique gameplay mechanic transporting the iconic characters from the Sonic and Sega universes into new dimensions. The newest entry to the Sonic Racing series is a Sonic game, driving game, and action game all-in-one that will offer an exciting racing experience across several modes, worlds, and more!
This game introduces Travel Rings, a new gameplay mechanic making each race feel surprising and fresh. Travel Rings bring dramatic changes to races, transporting players from one world to a completely new location. The lead racer gets to choose the CrossWorld that all players will be transported to on the second lap, allowing the environments to come alive with various track changes. Each CrossWorld offers a theme park-like experience with surprises around every turn, including large monsters, engaging obstacles, and tracks filled with beautiful scenery.
Another highlight of the game is its dynamic tracks, which draw inspiration from past Sonic Racing titles such as Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed and offer a “transformative” racing experience like no other. With each lap, the track undergoes dramatic changes and comes to life, shifting between land, sea, and air terrains. The ever-evolving track will be sure to challenge players to adapt their racing strategies for a thrilling gameplay experience to engage with the track beyond reaching the finish line.
This game also brings the most extensive vehicle customization in the series so far. For the first time in a Sonic Racing game, characters are not tied to specific vehicles and can race in all kinds of vehicles. Characters and vehicles all have a unique set of parameters like speed, acceleration, and handling, so players can try different combinations to best suit their racing style. In addition, players can mix and match parts from different vehicles to create their own custom vehicle! And if that wasn’t enough, players can choose colors, decals, and textures for almost every aspect of the vehicle, including the interior. We have no doubt racers will enjoy tinkering in the garage to create a one-of-a-kind vehicle that not only looks fantastic but performs amazingly on the track.
To add a little spice to the game, developers have announced a closed beta test network that will happen on February 21, 2025. Sign up now and get a chance to see how big the game is and what wonderful features it has. Sonic Racing: Crossworlds will launch this year for the PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, and PC Via Steam & Epic Games store.
