Will there be Sega characters in Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds?

A Sega press release has confirmed that the game will feature “iconic characters from the Sonic the Hedgehog and Sega universes,” so it would make sense to see heroes like Billy Hatcher, Like a Dragon’s Kazuma Kiryu, and Persona‘s Joker join the fray. We also saw a past track, inspired by After Burner, return in the gameplay reveal trailer.

It would be cool to race in areas like Persona 5‘s Momentos and Like a Dragon‘s Kabukichō in Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds.

What is unique about this game?

Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds is an exciting sequel to the series. It lets players drive through portals into different worlds in the blink of an eye. At one point, you’ll be racing under dinosaurs, and the next, you might be drifting around a corner in a stadium. It’s a unique take on the kart racing genre. We’ll also be able to drive monster trucks and hoverboards Sonic Riders-style in Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds.

It seems to be a decent alternative to the next Mario Kart entry, especially for those who can’t afford a Nintendo Switch 2.
