Mega Man Comes To Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds

Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds launches tomorrow, delivering arguably the best kart-racing experience of the year, but for fans of gaming crossovers, the main event starts post-launch. Developer Sonic Team has revealed extensive crossover DLC plans, including characters, vehicles, and stages from IPs such as Minecraft, Pac-Man, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Avatar: Legends, and SpongeBob SquarePants. Today, Sega announced its next CrossWorlds collaboration: Capcom's Mega Man franchise.

Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds features a robust roster of characters from across the Sonic universe, including characters from the mainline games, Sonic Riders, and even Netflix's Sonic Prime. Additionally, characters from series like Persona, Like a Dragon, and Hatsune Miku also join the racing fun. Mega Man and Proto Man will join the roster of playable racers as part of the Season Pass, alongside a Mega Man-inspired course and a Rush vehicle.

Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds arrives on PS5, Xbox Series X/S, PS4, Xbox One, Switch, and PC tomorrow, September 25. A Nintendo Switch 2 version is currently in development, with a launch expected this holiday season. Those who buy the Switch version will be able to upgrade to the Switch 2 version for $10.
