Sonic Racing CrossWorlds Animation Premieres This September

Sure, here’s a reimagined version with the requested style:

So, here’s the thing — SEGA’s got this new Sonic Racing CrossWorlds animation dropping in September. They’re psyched, I guess? The game’s going all out with courses over land, air, and sea. Plus, there’s this bizarre Travel Rings feature. Like, poof! You’re in a new CrossWorld mid-race. Yeah, kind of wild, right?

And then there’s the roster. It’s massive. Probably too many characters, but, hey, why not? Mix and match your rides with vehicle parts like it’s some kind of futuristic Lego set. And apparently, you can craft this unique racing style — whatever that means.

Oh, and hold onto your hats (or don’t, your call). Beyond Sonic pals, there are others jumping in — Joker from Persona 5, Kasuga Ichiban from Like A Dragon, and even Hatsune Miku. Now that’s a party. Free updates, by the way. Love those. And if you shell out for the Digital Deluxe Edition, they’re tossing in characters from Sonic Prime. There’s a Season Pass too, with Minecraft stuff. Can’t keep track of this anymore…

Key feature time! Who doesn’t love those? Weirdly, they’ve got these Travel Rings — yep, mentioned already, I know — but seriously, they warp you into other dimensions. Whatever floats your kart. You get a hefty 23 characters to choose from and 24 tracks, plus 15 CrossWorlds. I’m already exhausted trying to imagine it.

And gadgets! Honestly, gadgets are the real MVP. Over 70 to shuffle through, giving your vehicle that little extra oomph. Anyway, mixing parts, firing up powers — you get the deal, right?

And hey, Extreme Gear is back! If you remember the hoverboards from Sonic Riders, there you go. If not, don’t sweat it. But they promise extreme fun, so I’m intrigued.

Mark your calendars, though not with any real urgency. It’s out September 25, 2025, on the Nintendo eShop. Oh, and for those wondering about the Nintendo Switch 2 — that’s a whole other story.

Oops, almost forgot — animation teaser’s out there somewhere. Check it if you’re curious. Or not, it’s up to you.
