The first characters from outside the Sonic series to be confirmed for CrossWorlds are Joker fromPersona 5, Steve fromMinecraft, and Ichiban from theLike a Dragonseries. These are three huge pulls for CrossWorlds, but it also opens the door for a whole host of other guest characters to be added to the roster, as it’s now clear that the gamewon’t just be Sonic and the gang.
The trailer also gives us the much-anticipated release date of September 25, so we don’t have too much longer to wait at all. It gives CrossWorlds some much-needed breathing room fromMario Kart World, which is out now.

Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds will be available on Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, PS4, PS5, Nintendo Switch, and PC.
