At the Game Awards, SEGA quickly revealed a new Sonic Racing through a short teaser. With Sonic 3 soon to hit cinemas, the Japanese publisher is putting the spotlight on its mascot, or rather the star of the moment: Shadow the Hedgehog.
Shadow Steals the Show
A 26-second teaser to unveil Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds, and that’s all we’ll get from the Game Awards 2024, already packed with surprising announcements. After Sonic & Sega All Stars Racing (2010) and Team Sonic Racing (2019), this new opus marks the third entry in the series.
SEGA even takes the liberty of putting the blue hedgehog aside to showcase Shadow and his car, as dark as his edgy character. As a reminder, this is a racing game featuring Sonic and his friends in frantic Mario Kart-style battles, with objects to pick up on the tracks to obstruct your opponents or give you boosts. Feedback on the Sonic Racing franchise has generally been positive, even if it was far from rivaling Nintendo’s own license. In any case, we can’t wait to see what SEGA has in store for this sequel.
Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds will arrive “soon” on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series and Switch.
