Sonic Rumble Party has gone back to 1999 for its latest event.
SEGA has launched the Echidna Tribe Event, timed to the 27th anniversary of Sonic Adventure’s North American release on September 9, 1999. The event is live now and runs through October 5 at 07:59 UTC.
At the center of the event is Echidna Warrior Knuckles, a new costume that pulls directly from the ancient echidna culture seen throughout Sonic Adventure. He is available through the Premium Pass alongside an Echidna Tribe Knuckles Chao Buddy.
The Red Star Ring Shop is getting two more new looks: Serenity Tikal and Luminosity Sonic. Serenity Tikal gives Tikal a softer, ceremonial design, while Luminosity Sonic adds another anniversary-themed Sonic variant to the game’s growing costume lineup.
The event also brings back a larger batch of Sonic Adventure material. SEGA’s current lineup includes the Sonic Adventure Event Bundle, Chaos Skin Bundle and Dreamcast Buddy, while Tikal, Chaos and other Sonic Adventure items are being returned to the game permanently rather than disappearing again once the event ends.
That permanent return is probably the nicest part of the update for anyone who missed the earlier Adventure content.
The current event lineup also includes Gummy Tails and an Egg Golem Buddy, giving the update a few additions beyond the three headline character skins. SEGA is also running a new Twitch Drops campaign alongside the event, with Sonic Adventure-themed stickers and Red Star Rings available through participating streams until September 30 at 08:00 UTC.
The timing is deliberate. September 9 marks the anniversary of both the North American Dreamcast launch and Sonic Adventure’s release on the system, making the Echidna Tribe theme a particularly fitting callback to the game that introduced Tikal, Chaos and much of Knuckles’ ancient history to the series.
The Echidna Tribe Event is available now in Sonic Rumble Party and runs until October 5.
