A Race We’ve Been Watching
We’ve been keenly anticipating this new chaotic kart racer for a little while now. It was back in June that we first got wind of the new title when we reported that you’d need to Gotta Go Fast as Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds was coming in September with a huge crossover roster. Now, that day has finally arrived for eager fans.
Ready, Set, Warp!
The core of Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds is its unique new gameplay mechanic. As you race across the 24 different tracks, you can warp through Travel Rings into 15 different CrossWorlds. This will transport the iconic characters from the Sonic and SEGA universes into completely new dimensions, allowing you to use the unpredictability of the shifting landscape to your advantage.
You can race with the best of the best, as the game features 23 iconic Sonic characters, the largest roster of any Sonic racing game to date!
This new entry features deep customisation. You can mix and match between 45 unique original vehicles and 70 different gadgets to trick out your ride, level up your kart, and create the ultimate machine to match your racing style. You can also gain an advantage with 23 different power-up items, including returning favourites and all-new items like the Monster Truck!
And you can gather with friends and play in local split-screen in Grand Prix and the new party mode, Race Park. Or, you can compete against a community of players from around the world with up to 12 players online in World Match.
