This is the fourth annual rendition of the Sonic Central stream and featured a handful of reveals, though very little in the video game realm. Fans did get a glimpse of lots of different sides of Sonic though, including through motorbike helmets, Super Monkey Ball expansions, and DC crossovers.
Sonic Rumble Brings Battle Royale to Mobile and PC This Winter
Sonic the Hedgehog battle royale Sonic Rumble comes to PC and mobile this winter, Sega has announced.
The game was announced in May but lacked a release window, so this narrows things down somewhat. Sonic Rumble features Fall Guys style gameplay as 32 players, taking on the roles of myriad Sonic characters, battle it out for the top spot.
