Sonic Rumble Pre-Release Event: Monkey Ball, Altered Beast Crossover

Get ready, Sonic Rumble fans! Even though the global release is slated for May 8th, the excitement is ramping up early with a thrilling pre-release crossover event. This isn't just any crossover; it's a celebration of Sega's legendary characters from past and present!

Starting today and running until May 7th, players in regions where Sonic Rumble is in soft launch can snag the iconic Werewolf character from Altered Beast, absolutely free! This gives you a taste of the action before the game goes worldwide.

For those with the Sega Star Event Pass, the fun doesn't stop there. You can unlock the Weredragon from Altered Beast and meet Sega's pioneering mascot, Opa-Opa from Fantasy Zone, adding even more depth to your roster.

**Lucky you** But wait, there's more! Dive into the in-game Ring Shop to purchase additional characters like Upa-Upa and the Werebear. And for fans of Super Monkey Ball, the Red Star Ring Shop is your go-to spot for characters like AiAi and MeeMee!

While it's unusual to see such an event before a game's official launch, it's a fantastic opportunity for those in the soft launch regions to experience these beloved characters in action. And according to Sega, this is just the beginning. Sonic Rumble is set to host a series of exciting crossovers and collaborations, keeping the game fresh and engaging for players.

On a related note, keep an eye out for another big release coming soon. Finnish developer Supercell is gearing up for a rare launch with their quirky, monster-hunting part-timer simulator. Check out our Mo.co preview to see why you should be excited about this upcoming title on iOS and Android!
