SEGA's Not Telling Us Much About Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds for PS5, PS4

New road awaits

by Sammy Barker 2:35am

A new Sonic Racing game is in development, but here’s the briefest of hints from The Game Awards. We basically get to see a few seconds of Shadow the Hedgehog’s fist, as he jumps into a black-and-red sports car.

Unfortunately, there’s no release date or no mention of gameplay mechanics or roster. The name implies this will strictly be restricted to Sonic the Hedgehog characters, as opposed to the collection of SEGA avatars featured in Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed. (A personal favourite of this author!)

Beyond disappointed that it’s just Sonic. Sega Racing Transformed is brilliant and Sega have a really wide group of people to stick in a game like that, more if you include Atlus and RGG Studio.

It is called "CrossWorlds." Unless they're doing a Sonic Prime thing, I would say that name leaves the opportunity open for an All-Stars affair.

I'm guessing CrossWorlds refers to either crossover with other Sega franchises again (this I would like) or just characters from other Sonic media (mainly IDW, Prime and the movies), the latter would be boring imo.

I also noticed that this game is being developed by Sega Hardlight instead of Sumo Digital like the previous racing games since Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing. Most likely because Sumo Digital was bought by Tencent.

Sonic Racing Transformed is easily as good as any Mario Kart and I'd love to see it ported to modern consoles or have a new entry in the same style. Still, I'll be keeping an eye on this one and perhaps the title does allude to it having more than just Sonic in it

To echo what the rest of you guys are saying, Transformed is not only an incredible game, it's like Sega Smash Bros...except racing. Which makes sense. Cause Sega. Anyway, then they made it just about Sonic and his idiot friends, actually FORCING the player to engage with the lamest characters ever created. Significant downgrade, imo.

The Sonic & Sega All Stars games are brilliant - even after all this time and being stuck on the PS3/Vita generation.
Here's hoping we get a new version of a firm fan favourite.

Wish they would remaster Sonic and Sega All Stars Racing and Sega All Stars Racing Transformed.
Team Sonic Racing wasn’t anywhere near as good as those two were
