The possibilities are thrilling for fans of this legendary animated series. These two massive additions join an already impressive Year One lineup that has previously featured exciting crossovers with fan-favorites like Pac-Man and Minecraft, as well as a memorable stint with Nickelodeon's SpongeBob SquarePants and CAPCOM's Mega Man.
Year Two: Kaiju and Mechs Unleashed
But the excitement doesn't stop there! Sega also teased jaw-dropping plans for Sonic Racing CrossWorlds' second year, guaranteeing that the momentum continues.
