With Sonic Rumble still awaiting its global release, many U.S. fans have been left wondering if they’ll ever get a chance to unlock the limited-time cosmetics that have already appeared in pre-launch regions. Fortunately, Sega has now addressed these concerns, confirming that “many” of these exclusive skins, Chao, and stickers will return after the game’s worldwide launch.
In a recent statement on the game’s official social media account, Sega reassured fans that these items won’t be completely out of reach. “Many of these incredible Skins, Chaos, and Stickers will make a comeback once the game is live worldwide, so you won’t miss your chance to grab them,” the post reads. However, the company stopped short of promising that every single cosmetic would return immediately, leaving some uncertainty about when and how they’ll be made available.
This update is likely a relief to fans who have been watching players in other regions unlock exclusive cosmetics without any guarantee they’d get the same opportunity. While Sega has acknowledged the frustration, it also emphasized that the limited-time content was meant to keep early-access players engaged while the game remains unavailable in other territories.
The delay of Sonic Rumble in the U.S. remains unexplained, though speculation suggests Sega is taking extra time to ensure server stability before launching in a region with high demand. This kind of staggered rollout is common for online multiplayer games, allowing developers to iron out potential issues before a larger influx of players.
Alongside the update on limited-time cosmetics, Sega also announced that Sonic Rumble has surpassed 600,000 pre-registrations. This milestone unlocks the Crystal Chao Buddy for all players when the game launches. However, Sega has yet to confirm the required numbers for the final two pre-registration rewards—Garnet Knuckles and Movie Sonic skins. Fans have speculated that these will be unlocked at 800,000 and 1 million pre-registrations, respectively, though Sega may adjust these numbers to ensure everyone has a chance to obtain them.
With Sonic Rumble still without a definitive global release date, fans remain eager for updates. For now, Sega’s confirmation that many of the game’s exclusive cosmetics will return is a step in the right direction.
