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.

SEGA Sell Amplitude Studios, Developer Becomes Independent as a Result

Saturday, November 9th, 2024

SEGA have sold their stake in Humankind developer Amplitude Studios as a part of a management buyout. The studio has now become an independent and will thankfully continue to exist.

SEGA have made considerable lay-offs to staff internally as well as staff working at The Creative Assembly and SEGA Hardlight across 2024 as a part of their corporate restructure. It’s all a bit cold and uncaring for an industry that is reportedly one of the most successful entertainment mediums around nowadays.

Under SEGA, Amplitude developed Humankind, Endless Dungeon and Endless Space 2. The studio mainly specialised in strategy titles for a PC audience.

SEGADriven would like to wish everyone at Amplitude Studios our very best and hope the studio manage to continue their work and success as an independent.
