Sonic Rumble Pre-Launch Event: Crossover with Monkey Ball, Altered Beast

Get ready for an exciting pre-release crossover event in Sonic Rumble, which is set to dazzle fans before its global launch on May 8th. This event is not your typical crossover; it's a celebration of Sega's iconic past and present stars, making it a must-see for any Sega enthusiast.

Running from now until May 7th, the event will be accessible to players in regions where Sonic Rumble is currently in soft launch. A highlight of the event is the opportunity to claim the Werewolf character from the classic game Altered Beast, absolutely free. It's a fantastic chance to add a legendary character to your roster without spending a dime.

For those looking to dive deeper into the crossover, subscribers to the Sega Star Event Pass will unlock even more exclusive characters. This includes the Weredragon from Altered Beast and Opa-Opa, the beloved first mascot from Fantasy Zone. These additions promise to enhance your gameplay with a touch of nostalgia and power.

**Lucky you**

The excitement doesn't stop there. The in-game Ring Shop will feature additional characters for purchase, including Upa-Upa and the Werebear. Meanwhile, the Red Star Ring Shop will offer characters from Super Monkey Ball, such as AiAi and MeeMee, allowing you to further customize your gaming experience with these fun additions.

It's quite unusual to see such a robust event before a game's official release, but it's a thrilling preview of what's to come. If you're fortunate enough to participate in the soft launch, you'll definitely want to take advantage of this unique opportunity to collect these iconic characters.

According to Sega, this crossover is just the beginning. They have promised a packed calendar of future collaborations and events for Sonic Rumble, ensuring that the fun and excitement will continue long after the global launch.
