The Sonic The Hedgehog universe is known for speed and high stakes in both the racing and platforming worlds, so matching such a competitive concept with a multiplayer, head to head race makes perfect sense, stated Fred Chesnais, CEO of SEGA of America, in a press release. This is a high-octane race with monster cars, and it’s a multiplayer showdown between friends online, where each player races with their own unique member of Team Sonic in a battle for ultimate victory. Whether you've been competing with Sonic since 1991 or you want to take on the blue blur for the first time, PVP Battle Race provides a ticket to an all-out, blistering race to the finish.

The game is a head-to-head mixture of traditional Sonic platforming and competitive exciting multiplayer experience. Join your favorite characters and vie against one another throughout dazzling stages and tracks, and take the checkered flag. Players select one of 15 characters from the Sonic universe and compete to win the race, the most collect Ring and the star. Sonic’s unparalleled speed complete with 3D boost-attack, as well as Tails’ flight, Knuckles’n strength, and Amy’s hammer. Courses in the game are based on popular Sonic the Hedgehog games, such as the area of Seaside Hill from 2003’s Sonic Heroes and the ever-so-festive Rooftop Run, complete with mid-race appearances by Eggman’s EGG PAWNS, based on Sonic while some tracks also fall into the dangerous world of the recent racing game, Team Sonic Racing.

What makes PvP Battle Race unique is the focus on live player vs player competition. While not a new concept for action and adventure games, racers to date pit players in a classic race to the finish line, full stop. The tracks are littered with power-ups that you can use to perform homing attacks, drop explosive mines and release speed-boosting wisps in your quest to get out in front. The mayhem of ducking and weaving through enemy projectiles at ridiculous speeds is a delicate balance of attack and defense which means no two races are ever the same. And because some modes are team-based, players can team up and launch joint attacks, introducing a teamwork dynamic to the frantic solo competition.

In addition to the excitement of the on-track racing, the title boasts a rich, reward-and-skill based progression system. Players can earn new characters, cosmetic upgrades and special abilities as they climb the online ranks or complete difficult single-player time trials. Daily and weekly tournaments to keep the race fresh and with special rewards for those top places. For those who want a more laid-back experience with friends, custom lobbies allow the host to set their own rules, whether that’s go-for-broke races where hazards and combat are turned on, or pure speed runs, free of item boxes.

From a visual standpoint, PvP Battle Race brings the franchise’s signature look to life by mixing vibrant, high-energy environments with console-quality 60fps gameplay that provides a smooth and painless experience whether you’re jumping, boosting, or attacking. The game’s intense artwork also features the classic Sonic-themed in-game graphics, with stunning remixes and high-tempo music of your favorite classic levels like Green Hill Zone, Chemical Plant Zone, and others. Whether you’re chasing glory in ranked games or goofing around with friends, the game’s peppy presentation never lets the excitement waver.

More than a mere offshoot, PvP Battle Race is a modernized, competitive take on Sonic’s universe that doesn’t forget its own legacy in the process. With its party racing and battle modes, it is the ultimate party game to play with friends and family.
