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.
SEGA have formally announced the title of the new Shinobi game alongside its developer and release date. Streets of Rage 4 developers Lizardcube are creating the game which will launch on August 29th 2025 for PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, Switch and PC.

The game will also be available as a digital deluxe edition that includes a ghost outfit, medic lite amulet, SEGA villains bonus stage, in-game upgrade currency and a digital artbook and soundtrack.
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.
A new Sonic the Hedgehog racing game is “coming soon”. This new title is called Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds and will be released for PC, Switch, PS4, PS5, Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S.
The first teaser trailer for the game was showcased at The Game Awards 2024 and features Shadow the Hedgehog getting into a car that is not too dissimilar from the one he uses in Team Sonic Racing. The game’s logo is also reminiscent of Team Sonic Racing. Maybe this is a hint that the game was be a sequel to Team Sonic Racing?
You can check out the teaser trailer via the embed below:
Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds will release on PC, Switch, PS4, PS5, Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S “soon”. No developer has been named at the time of writing, but I think it’s safe to assume that Sumo Digital are back at the helm.

While no developer is listed in the trailer, it’s safe to assume that CyberConnect2 are returning to develop Demon Slayer -Kimetsu no Yaiba- The Hinokami Chronicles 2. The Hinokami Chronicles is a video game adaptation of the Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba manga by Koyoharu Gotouge. The first game is a 3rd person arena fighter that adapts the first season of the anime adaptation.
