Sega announced Sonic Rumble less than a year ago, and said at the time that the multiplayer title, developed by Angry Birds studio Rovio, would release sometime during the winter. That didn’t end up happening, but we do know when the game is coming now, and it’s not too far away.
Sega has announced that Sonic Rumble is going to launch worldwide a month from now, on May 8. Each match in the title will pit 32 players against each other, and players will compete through platforming courses inspired by Sonic titles in a battle royale experience similar to Fall Guys.
The game’s launch will also see the addition of progression mechanics (in the form of skills and skill slots) and a crews system to allow players to band together and play together. Check out the game’s release date announcement trailer below to get more glimpses of gameplay footage.
At launch, Sonic Rumble will be available for PC (via Steam), iOS, and Android.
