Sonic Rumble, the eagerly awaited 32-player battle royale platformer, has opened pre-registration for Android, iOS, and PC. Developed by Rovio, the creators of Angry Birds and now a part of Sega, this game marks a significant expansion of the iconic blue hedgehog's presence on mobile platforms.
In Sonic Rumble, players can step into the shoes of beloved characters from the storied Sega franchise. From the core trio of Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles to fan favorites like Amy Rose, Rogue the Bat, Big the Cat, and Metal Sonic, as well as the notorious Ivo Robotnik (or Dr. Eggman), the game offers a diverse cast of characters to choose from. The inclusion of these iconic figures, combined with familiar locations from the Sonic universe, promises an engaging and nostalgic experience.
With pre-registration now underway, enticing rewards await those who sign up early. The first milestone at 200,000 pre-registrations will reward each player with 5,000 Rings. While the specific targets for subsequent rewards remain undisclosed, the ultimate prize is confirmed to be an exclusive movie-themed Sonic skin. This incentive is sure to drive interest and engagement among fans.
**Gotta' go fast**
While some might be skeptical about Rovio's transition from Angry Birds to the Sonic universe, Sonic Rumble represents an exciting opportunity for the studio to showcase its capabilities beyond its flagship franchise. The battle royale genre may not be groundbreaking, but the game's Fall Guys-inspired mechanics, coupled with Sonic's signature speed and obstacle-filled levels, make it a fitting and promising addition to the genre.
