Mega Man, who has been a part of Sonic's crossover 12 years ago, may appear in Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds, according to fans who claim to have found hints in early physical versions of the game.
In an exciting turn of events, Pac-Man isn't the only iconic video game character making waves in the world of racing. Mega Man, another beloved figure from the gaming realm, has been officially revealed as a crossover character in Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds.
This crossover-filled game, developed by Sonic Team, is a race across different dimensions, featuring characters from beyond the Sonic universe. The crossovers started with characters related to Sega, including Yakuza's Ichiban Kasuga, Persona 5's Joker, and Hatsune Miku.
The crossover event in Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds is a reunion from Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. In fact, the unique history between Sonic and Mega Man dates back to a crossover event in Archie Comics, with their first meeting in Smash Bros. being a memorable moment for many fans.
Capcom, the creators of Mega Man, still consider this IP as one of their most important, despite not releasing a new game in the mainline series since 2018. Capcom has kept Mega Man alive by including him in various other games and merchandise, such as Brawlhalla, Funko Fusion, and Monster Hunter.
Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds ties with the best Sonic racing game ever made according to Metacritic. While it's a significant achievement, it falls short of overtaking Crash and Mario in terms of Metacritic score.
