If I say “Sonic“, what do you think? Fast races across a world full of platforms? Adventures against the evil Doctor Robotnik? Pure speed? Well, Sega now proposes to combine it with something else: multiplayer mobile games in which 32 people participate but only one can remain. Is the world ready for ‘Sonic Rumble’? Considering how poorly the company has kept the secret, it seems so.
Ready to Rumble
Your eyes don’t deceive you: ‘Sonic’ has set up a ‘Fall Guys’ where, in a continuous race to the finish line, he’ll have to navigate various obstacles, making life difficult for his opponents and fighting to be the first of all. The reward for collecting rings will be to customize the characters (they’re all there, from Robotnik to Shadow of Knuckles), so if you’re a fan always on the lookout for nods, you know what to do.
Alongside Sega will be Rovio (yes, the ones from ‘Angry Birds’), with whom they have developed some 2D screens, various mini-games, and in general, they have entrusted them with their expertise when it comes to making a mobile game. Don’t be impatient: we won’t have any more news about it until this winter, so Sega can only sigh and hope that by the time ‘Sonic Rumble’ reaches the app stores, no one will remember that ‘Fall Guys’ existed.
