Sonic the Hedgehog fans are eagerly anticipating Sonic Rumble, which launches globally on May 8. This game represents the first collaboration between the Sonic characters and the makers of Angry Birds, Rovio Entertainment, after their acquisition by Sega in 2023.

Sonic Rumble combines classic characters with dynamic, multiplayer battle royale gameplay reminiscent of Fall Guys. This exciting title is expected to be available on both Windows, and mobile devices including Android and iOS.

The game was initially announced last May and tested through a closed beta. What started as a planned full release window between late 2024 and early 2025 was reshuffled when it was delayed to Q2 of 2025. The announcement of the set launch date on May 8 has fans ready to power up their devices for high-paced contests that Sonic Rumble promises.

Moreover, earlier this week, a gameplay trailer was released showcasing Dr. Eggman interacting with a display of Sonic figures, revealing game mechanics and enemies players will face, ensuring excitement and engagement remain at a peak among the fanbase.

Sonic Rumble Release Date

• May 8, 2025

Fans can rest assured that previous monetization concerns present in similar profiles, such as pay-to-win or gacha systems, will not plague Sonic Rumble. An initial content roadmap shared in February also reveals plans for competitive game modes and character abilities, promising an enriching launch experience for everyone.

Pre-launch registrations for Sonic Rumble have already been underway since December, reinstating previous cosmetic bonuses available upon final release. In addition, players can anticipate Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds later this year.
