In *Sonic Rumble*, up to 32 players will compete in a toy world crafted by the nefarious Dr. Eggman. This free-to-play game promises a thrilling experience with various levels and gameplay types. However, concerns about potential pay-to-win elements have been addressed by Sonic Rumble Director Makoto Tase during the Tokyo Game Show 2024. Tase clarified that the game will feature a straightforward, casual purchase system, allowing players to buy what they want quickly for a small, fixed amount, steering clear of the gacha mechanics.
