Sega has announced the release date for upcoming free-to-play party game Sonic Rumble, which is due to hit Steam and mobile devices next month.
As spotted by Gematsu, Sonic Rumble will be arriving on May 8th, and pre-registrations are open right now on mobile platforms. You'll unlock more rewards the more pre-registrations Sega gets, so if you want some Sonic Rumble goodies, be sure to add your name to your platform's list.
Pre-registration rewards include bonus rings, a Chao sticker, and skins for various characters, including a crystallized "Garnet Knuckles" skin and a look for Sonic himself based on the hugely successful Paramount movies.
In case you're wondering exactly what Sonic Rumble is, it's essentially the Sonic the Hedgehog franchise's take on the likes of Fall Guys; it's a 32-player battle royale in which you and your fellow players must take part in "chaotic survival battles".
Several game modes will be available in Sonic Rumble. As you'd expect, there's a Run mode in which you must race against your opponents to win, and you'll also be able to battle against your rivals in Survival mode.
