'Sonic Rumble' Has New Improved Gameplay For November Launch

Video Games

Oct 17

Sonic Rumble has been in “pre-season” mode for so long that it is in its sixth “pre-season.” It was initially supposed to be released winter of last year, but it was pushed back to May 8th of this year. However, that day came and went, and the game was pushed back again to an indefinite date. Meanwhile, the game continued to come out with new events and skins for those in the territories this “pre-release” build was available, but the question remained: When will the game be available globally?

Well, the wait seems to be over, as a new gameplay trailer was released, and it looks like that extra time was put to good use. The trailer shows off the intensely fast gameplay the Sonic series is known for. Players are now able to use signature Sonic-style abilities to block or disrupt opponents during each match. In addition, it appears that movie Sonic and movie Shadow, in addition to several of the pre-release skins, will be made available in the game when it launches globally.

Furthermore, the onboarding process has been overhauled completely to help new players get into the action faster, and the user interface has also gotten a facelift, bringing missions, achievements, and progression into one easy-to-navigate hub. Further updates have been implemented in the game's progression and rewards system, and it is clear that he team at Rovio has been hard at work making a Sonic game worthy of the franchise's legacy.

Sonic Rumble speeds onto iOS, Android, and PC this November (assuming there isn't yet another delay).
