SEGA of America is teaming up with KessCo to release their second Sonic the Hedgehog card-based tabletop game, Sonic Speed Battle. The new tabletop game is themed after the iconic Sonic Adventure 2 Battle game.
Sonic Speed Battle will release first at Barnes & Noble in-store and online in summer 2024, followed by a second retail release at Target and Amazon this fall. Players will have access to 24 iconic Sonic characters across three dynamic battle modes, allowing them to test their speed, face off in a shooting battle, and prove their Master Emerald hunting skills.
“The demand for another Sonic tabletop game has been undeniable, making it tough for us to keep Sonic Speed Battle a secret,” said KessCo CEO Alex Kessler. “We’re excited to introduce a game inspired by some of our favorite Sonic titles like Sonic Adventure 2. With more than 20 characters and three game modes there is something here for Sonic fans and tabletop game fans of all ages.”
After the release of the tabletop game, Sonic X Shadow Generations, the latest video game in the series, will launch on October 25 for Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam and Epic Games Store. Before launch, fans may earn the Sonic Jam Legacy Skin for free by signing up for the SEGA newsletter.
Final Weapon had the opportunity to preview Sonic X Shadow Generations at Summer Game Fest 2024 Play Days. In addition, we featured gameplay of the new Shadow levels on our official YouTube channel.
