Sonic Rumble is gearing up for an exciting pre-release crossover event that's set to thrill fans even before its official worldwide launch on May 8th. This event isn't just any crossover; it's a celebration of Sega's iconic characters from past and present, bringing them into the Sonic Rumble universe!

This unique event will run from now until May 7th and is available to those in regions where Sonic Rumble is currently in soft launch. During this period, players can claim the Werewolf character, inspired by the classic game Altered Beast, absolutely free. This gives players a fantastic opportunity to experience a piece of Sega history within the vibrant world of Sonic Rumble.

For those who subscribe to the Sega Star Event Pass, there's even more to look forward to. You'll have the chance to unlock the Weredragon from Altered Beast and Opa-Opa, Sega's first mascot from the beloved arcade game Fantasy Zone. These additions not only enhance your gameplay but also celebrate Sega's rich gaming heritage.

But wait, there's more! The in-game Ring Shop will offer additional characters like Upa-Upa and the Werebear for purchase. Meanwhile, the Red Star Ring Shop will feature characters from the Super Monkey Ball series, including AiAi and MeeMee. This diverse lineup ensures that every player can find something exciting to add to their roster.

While it's unusual for such an event to occur before a game's official release, it's a testament to Sega's commitment to engaging its fanbase early on. According to Sega, this crossover is just the beginning of a packed calendar of collaborations planned for Sonic Rumble, promising more exciting content in the future.
