Team Sonic Racing

Team Sonic Racing was leaked by Walmart earlier today. SEGA has since sent out an official announcement, confirming the game for this winter.

Sumo Digital is developing Team Sonic Racing. The team mixes “the best elements of arcade and fast-paced competitive style racing with unique vehicle customization options”. You’ll be able to play alone, team up with friends, or face-off against each other.

Yesterday, a major update went out for Snake Pass a year after its original release. It was highlighted by the addition of Arcade Mode, but also included a change for the game’s Switch feedback – following vociferous feedback from the community.

In a blog post today, Sumo Digital shares various stats for Snake Pass to celebrate the game’s first anniversary (see above). The company also went in-depth on the decision to change the game’s icon.

A new update for Snake Pass on Switch is now available. It changes the game’s icon back to the original icon, which has been the topic of much discussion in the Switch community. The update also adds a new Arcade Mode.

Here’s something interesting about Payday 2 for Switch. It seems that development was largely handled by Sumo Digital, as opposed to Overkill Software.

Sumo is specifically listed in the game’s credits:

Sumo Digital released Snake Pass on Switch last year. The team is also behind the Sonic racing titles.

Update: Bumped to the top. Though the rumor itself still stands, a new Sonic karting game has been ruled out for now. Aaron Webber from SEGA’s social media and PR ruled that out on Twitter:



Original: Sumo Digital has worked on two Sonic kart racers for SEGA. Sonic & SEGA All-Stars Racing launched in 2010, followed by Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed a couple of years later. A third entry could now be a possibility.

Slides from a supposed Sumo presentation have apparently leaked online. One page covers project in development at the studio, including an unannounced karting game based on an “established global IP”.

Snake Pass was one of the earlier games to hit the eShop last year. By all accounts, the title did very well. Thanks to Snake Pass’ success, Sumo Digital is sticking with the concept – and it looks like we can expect something early this year.

Sumo tweeted the following earlier today:

At the moment, that tease is the only thing we have to go on. Sumo should have something more concrete to share soon.

Snake Pass has received a notable discount on the North American Switch eShop. You can purchase it for 50 percent off, as it’s down to $9.99 from $19.99. The sale lasts until October 30.

Snake Pass doesn’t appear to be on sale in Europe at the moment. It could be included in the upcoming Halloween eShop sale later this week though.

Sumo Digital introduced a new Snake Pass update late last month. It was a pretty substantial one, adding in Time Trials and leaderboards on Switch. However, that pesky rumble bug was brought back with the patch.

On the bright side, Sumo has been quick to address the situation. Another Snake Pass update is now available, bringing the game to version 1.2.1. You should notice that the rumble issues have once again been addressed.

Sumo Digital isn’t done with Snake Pass. In July, the studio will release the first DLC for the game.

Those who have yet to purchase Snake Pass may want to take advantage of a new discount. It’ll be 40 percent off until July 4.

Here’s a video teasing Snake Pass’ upcoming DLC and announcing the sale:
