Sega delays Sonic Rumble for update

• Sonic Rumble's launch has been postponed
• Sega is rolling out version 1.2 packed with fresh features
• Exclusive Discord Q&A scheduled for upcoming details

Despite an exciting crossover event with Super Monkey Ball, Altered Beast, and other Sega titles, Sonic Rumble's worldwide release has been delayed. The multiplayer battle royale game, which amassed over 1.4 million pre-registrations, was preparing for launch but has now been temporarily put on hold.

The delay allows developers to finalize update 1.2, introducing game-changing elements like Rumble Rankings, Crews, and character Skills to Dr. Eggman's toybox world. These features are designed to enrich gameplay beyond just chaotic victories.

Rumble Rankings will offer seasonal competitive ladders with rewards, while Crews enable cooperative score missions with friends. The new Skills system adds strategic depth by granting characters unique abilities.

Rather than implementing these changes post-launch, Sega chose to delay release for proper polishing. Fans can join the May 2nd Discord Q&A for development updates and to submit questions.

For those eager to play, here are the best iOS battle royale games available currently.

The delay doesn't affect pre-registration incentives - all rewards remain secured, including 5,000 Rings, Crystal Chao Buddy, Happy Sticker, Garnet Knuckles skin, and the Movie Sonic skin unlocked at 1.4 million signups. Players will still start with substantial bonuses at launch.

With the new release timeline, pre-registration for Sonic Rumble remains open through the links below. The free-to-play game will feature optional in-app purchases. Check the official site for latest updates.
