Sonic Team head says he’s open to adding ‘deep cut’ Sonic characters as CrossWorlds DLC

Sonic Racing CrossWorlds could eventually get even more characters than those planned for the current season pass. Speaking to MCV magazine Sonic Team boss, Takashi Iizuka, said that the company is open to adding some “deep cut” Sonic characters if the opportunity feels right, presumably meaning if the game continues to sell well. He said that “we want Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds to represent all eras of Sonic.”

“Sega has such a rich cast of characters, and Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds is a great place to celebrate that legacy,” he replied. “We’re always thinking about who might be next, so keep an eye out for more announcements down the line as the Season continues.”

“There’s a lot of passion around the extended Sonic universe, and we’re open to including the ‘deep cut’ characters if the opportunity feels right,” Iizuka replied. “We want Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds to represent all eras of Sonic.”

“We started [talking to partners] long before launch and most partners were very enthusiastic,” he said. “These collaborations take care and time, especially to get them right for the fans. As for companies who passed … we won’t name names, but we’re always open to conversations in the future!”
