Mega Man and Proto Man Confirmed for Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds, Coming in 2026
Sega has confirmed that Mega Man and Proto Man will be coming to Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds as playable characters in a DLC pack launching next year.
The pack includes the two Light brothers, the Rush Roadster from Mega Man: Battle & Chase, and a new Wily castle-themed course which, you guessed it, is based on Mega Man 2.
Check out the above trailer to see it all in action!
I love the cross over as I'm a fan of both Sonic and Megaman, but I feel a bit let down over this Crossover. They had a chance to have Dr. Wily race alongside Dr. Eggman and they didn't do that. I also was hoping for Roll to be a part of the collab. Maybe in the future...
Kinda surprised they went with Proto Man, who’s been out of the limelight for awhile. Everything looks pretty good. Smash Bros. version of MM2 Wily Stage is slightly eye-roll inducing but not unexpected. And at least you can give Proto Man a red board and pretend it’s Proto Jet.
It *does* feel like a bigger omission than the other DLC’s. I don’t think Patrick ever had a specific car, or Minecraft characters, or the ghosts from Pac-Man. I don’t even know what an Avatar car would be, unless they just ride their tardigrade bison buddy.
The whole trailer feels like it's made to be similar to the Smash Bros trailer from years ago, and it comes off as so calculated and uninteresting. I might be biased due to already having a dislike towards Crossworlds, but I don't see why this is so celebrated when it's just a shallow cross-promotion for an overpriced game. I used to be more excited for XDiVE's character reveals more, at least those were sometimes cool and XDiVE getting rescued from gacha hell was appreciated, no matter how mediocre it is as a game. Maybe I am too negative...?
It’s 100% down to SEGA’s recently honed sycophancy. Combined with some classic Nintendo rivalry, and the energy I’ve seen around this game is unreal. You’d think it was the only thing between the internet and crippling depression the way it’s talked about. They could announce a literal turd as the 7th DLC and it would still be peak and we’d still be so back.
Ah, but maybe that’s just my predisposition for contrarianism…
Everyone looks great, and I'm always happy to have new models to play with!
ReplyDeleteThough I do hope that one of these crossovers dares to go beyond MM2, especially for locales.

ReplyDeleteNo interest in this game but models look really good!
ReplyDeleteAgreed. As much as I like Smash’s Mega Man design, I like how they went more artwork-based instead of sprite-based for these models
Deletekinda upset that protoman doesn't get the red striker. it's not like it's a lot of work to edit mega man's model to make him into protoman.
ReplyDeletethis really just makes me wish we were getting another battle & chase

Delete"It's Over" stocks are the lowest they've been since 2028 and "Nothing Ever Happens" stocks are plummeting at record speed.
ReplyDeleteDid something interesting happen? I must have missed it.
DeleteGood to know stocks will be low in a few years, sounds like a good time to buy. I’ll be like Biff in BttF 2. :p
