Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds reveals Ichiban release date

We now have a release date for Ichiban in Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds, and the character is only a few days away. The new content goes live on November 6, 2025, as announced during a live stream today.

A special festival will take place to mark Ichiban’s arrival. Players can partake in this between November 7 and November 10.

Ichiban comes from the Yakuza / Like a Dragon series. He follows Joker, who was added to the game last week. Hatsune Miku is also planned as free content, but there’s no release date for that character as of now.

With Ichiban about to make his arrival, you might be interested to know that the Yakuza team initially had some hesitation about their character appearing in the game. We have more information about that here.

Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds is available on Nintendo Switch. A Nintendo Switch 2 version is coming in the near future.
