Watch a 7 and a Half Minute Gameplay Preview of Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds Courtesy of IGN | Video Spotlight

Thursday, February 13th, 2025

The Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds media train is now in full swing as IGN have shared a 7 and a half minute gameplay preview of the game in the wake of yesterday’s announcement trailer that debuted at the Sony State of Play event. You can check it out via the embed below:

The gameplay of Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds is a more traditional racing affair instead of the team-based action of Team Sonic Racing. The 2nd lap of each race takes place in a different dimension with the leader of the pack choosing from 2 big rings to enter when they complete the lap. IGN also confirm that Zazz from Sonic Lost World is one of the new playable characters. Tricking off jumps and drops is also much faster and snappier than in previous Sonic racing games.

Yesterday we previously stated one of the stage’s looked like the After Burner stage from Sonic & SEGA All-Stars Racing Transformed. It turns out this stage is actually based on Metal Harbor from Sonic Adventure 2. People have also noticed that Sage from Sonic Frontiers is one of the playable characters in CrossWorlds.

It has also come to light that some of the developers behind 2021’s Intitial D: The Arcade are working on Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds. Thanks to The Sonic Stadium for spotting that one.

Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds is reportedly “coming soon” to PC, PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S. Development is being lead by Sonic Team.

Tuesday, January 7th, 2025

The official Virtua Fighter YouTube channel has shared a short 35 second long clip of Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio’s pre-development concept for the new Virtua Fighter project that was revealed at The Game Awards 2024.

This concept footage shows what RGG Studio are aiming for the final game to look and play like, but it was created before the game was greenlit for full development. This means the look and feel of the game is likely going to change as development progresses.

The footage shows 2 Akira’s in different outfits fighting in the street. The animations are extremely fluid and the camera angles change to frame specific attacks in a more dramatic way. Destructible environments are also showcased.

You can view the concept footage via the embed below:

The new Virtua Fighter project is currently in development at Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio. No release date or target platforms have been announced at the time of writing.
