Recent rumors have suggested another racing game could be coming to the Nintendo Switch, as well. As with Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed, the new game is being developed by Sumo Digital. Its predecessor is free via Xbox Live’s Games With Gold program in June. No release date has been shared at this time, but it will likely launch before the end of the year. That game also included mascots from other Sega franchises, however, and it appears Team Sonic Racing will only focus on the Sonic universe.
These are split across the “speed,” “technique,” and “power” classes, but we don’t have to guess which one Sonic will be.įifteen characters seems like plenty, but it’s actually far fewer than were included in Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed. There are 14 different “Wisps” to use in races, offering offensive and defensive bonuses, and there are 15 separate characters to choose from. This mode allows you to work together with another driver - rather than one in the same kart, like in Mario Kart: Double Dash - as you share power-ups during a match. Team Sonic Racing will also include a “team racing race” mode in addition to classics like Grand Prix and time trial.
The game includes “Adventure mode,” described as a “unique story experience where players are introduced to basic game features and characters.” If you want a story with your kart racing, Team Sonic Racing has you covered.
