SEGA has officially shared a full reveal of Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds, which is "coming soon" to Xbox Series X|S.
It's been confirmed this entry will feature the "largest roster" ever in a Sonic Racing game, with characters from "SEGA Universes" also joining the race. Apart from this, you'll be racing in vehicles across "land, sea, and air", using "Travel Rings" to transport between different locations, and gadgets to give you the competitive edge.
Sega has also confirmed vehicle customisation and the return of "Extreme Gear" which originally debuted in Sonic Riders. These flying hoverboards will offer "a boost-based racing style".
Sonic Team's Creative Officer Takashi Iizuka has also acknowledged how this latest entry blends new ideas with past ones, like features from Sonic All-Stars: Transformed and more.
"In Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds, not only did we want to introduce the innovative idea of racing through different worlds as you warp through the Travel Rings, but we also wanted anyone who had fun playing our previous Sonic Racing games to really enjoy this title, so we took a lot of elements from those past games and incorporated them. We included the Extreme Gear from the Sonic Riders series as well as the Transform feature from the All-Stars Racing series, making it a great culmination of all the Sonic Racing series games to date. I hope everyone really enjoys Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds."
Sega will also be running a "network test" for Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds, but signs up are only for PlayStation 5.

@Astig Sonic and All Stars Riders Transformed
Pls 4player split screen gameplay at 60fps
@PrinceVegeta Sonic and All Stars Riders Transformed & Knuckles
Not bad looking at all, and the other Sonic racing games were pretty decent to be fair.
Well, this is one of my favourite genres ever. Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed is more fun than Mario Kart 8. Team Sonic Racing is great in spite of a few weird decisions and shortcomings. I hope that this new entry has the best of both. I love that we'll be racing in vehicles across land, sea, and air, the best part of Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed, better done than in Mario Kart and more similar to Diddy Kong Racing.
Really enjoyed the 2 360 Sonic & Sega Racing games (stupid that the first isn't Backwards BTW) and I'm glad to see this will be a culmination of ideas that worked. Team Sonic Racing wasn't a bad idea, but something like that works better as a side Game Mode than a main concept.
