If you’re looking for an upcoming kart racer that isn’t Mario Kart World, SEGA has you covered, with Sonic Racing CrossWorlds set to launch some time this year. Taking inspiration from the much-loved Sonic and SEGA All-Star Racing Transformed, the upcoming racer looks set to include much more than just Sonic characters – with a new leak claiming that both SpongeBob and the TMNT could make an appearance in-game.
As reported by the same leaker who detailed CrossWorlds ahead of its official announcement, the upcoming Sonic Kart racer will seemingly feature characters outside of SEGAs own repertoire – with both the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles as well as SpongeBob Square Pants said to be included in the roster.
Further details surrounding their inclusion has not been shared, meaning it is unknown whether they will be featured in the base game, or as part of a paid DLC pack.
Regardless, thanks to the success of the Sonic films, SEGA and Paramount do have a rather strong business relationship and so such an inclusion does make sense – especially as SpongBob himself has featured in multiple Nickelodeon racing titles in the past.
Currently, Sonic Racing CrossWorlds has yet to receive an official release date, with the game still slated for some time in 2025. That said, with SEGA confirmed to be present during the upcoming Summer Game Fest Showcase, it’s possible we might get new details on the upcoming title sooner rather than later.
KitGuru says: Are you excited for Sonic Racing CrossWorlds? Does it have the potential to be as good as Transformed? What other external characters would you like to see added to the roster? Let us know down below.
