After revealing Mega Man as the final DLC pack for Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds, Sega has revealed a roadmap for the recently released kart racer. Minecraft, which includes Steve, Alex and the Creeper, alongside SpongeBob SquarePants (and Patrick), will arrive for Season Pass owners in Q4 2025.
During this period, free characters will be released, with Hatsune Miku available now. Joker from Persona 5 and Ichiban Kasuga from Like a Dragon arrive later, and will each have dedicated limited-time event Festivals.
Three additional unknown characters will be added for free in Q1 2026 alongside Pac-Man and the Ghosts as paid DLC. Q2 2026 sees the arrival of Mega Man and Proto Man with a whopping four free characters. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem and Avatar Legends launch in Q3 2026, alongside two more free characters.
Each free character is accompanied by a new vehicle, emotes and sounds, while paid characters include the same and a new course. Stay tuned for more details on which iconic Sega characters will join the roster in the coming months.
