The upcoming Sonic game invites players to enter a twisted toy world created by the notorious Dr. Eggman. With iconic characters from the Sonic the Hedgehog universe available for customization, players can create their own unique avatars and dive into the action-packed gameplay.

Developed and managed by SEGA in collaboration with Rovio, known for the global success, Angry Birds, Sonic Rumble is the first title to be released jointly by SEGA and Rovio. SEGA aims to further expand the presence of the Sonic the Hedgehog brand within the global mobile gaming market with Rovio’s marketing expertise and experience. 

Experience a vast array of stages with different themes and ways to play! Sonic Rumble is packed with different gameplay styles, including Run, where players race for the top spot, Survival, where players compete to stay in the game, Ring Battle, where players duke and dodge it out for the most rings, and lots more! Matches are short, so anyone can pick it up and play in their spare time.

Who will be the world’s top Rumbler?!

SEGA announced that Sonic Rumble will host a limited-time event, The Smurfs Crossover Event, beginning March 16, 2026.
