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.
A brand new announcement trailer for Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds has dropped and with it comes our first look at the in-game action of this new Sonic racing game. You can view the trailer via the embed below:
Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds is letting you take the racing action to land, sea and sky whilst also travelling to different dimensions using ring portals. You can also use a variety of different vehicles including the Extreme Gear from the Sonic Riders games. While Sonic characters were the only characters represented in this current trailer, it did appear to include the After Burner course from Sonic & SEGA All-Stars Racing Transformed so maybe characters from different SEGA franchises may also be included.
Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds is promised to be releasing “soon” on PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, PC and Switch. Sonic Team are handling development duties internally.
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.
