Sonic Rumble is an upcoming multiplayer party battle royale game in the Sonic the Hedgehog video game series, developed by Sonic Team and Rovio Entertainment. Set for release in late 2024, the game will be available on mobile and PC platforms.[1] The game features players as toy versions of Sonic characters competing in various challenges and minigames.[2]
The game was announced in May of 2024, with a closed beta test being available from 24–26 that same month.[3]
Gameplay
[edit]Sonic Rumble is an online party game in which players compete against each other in various mini-games and challenges, with the goal of collecting the most rings. The game supports up to 32 players[4] in the first round, with half of the players being eliminated afterwards. The second round features the remaining 16 players, and again, half of them are eliminated. The final round then consists of the remaining 8 players, who compete in a final round to determine the winner.
Game modes
[edit] |
The game features multiple other game modes, which consist of the following:
- In 'Ring Survival', players compete to collect the most rings while surviving against challenges and other players.
- In 'Co-Op Battles', players team up as a group of 32 to fight the Death Egg Robot, working together to defeat it and earn rewards.
- 'Special Rumble' features a variety of competitions, including Run Battles and Survival Battles, where players race through three consecutive rounds with fixed rules. It includes challenges like Hyper Boost Battles and Low Gravity Battles, allowing players to race in alternate ways.
The game also supports custom matches; players can host their own lobbies in this mode, allowing them to compete against bots, friends, or other players.
