  That's right, Sonic the Hedgehog and Pac-Man are joining forces
• 0:31
  for a pair of exciting new adventures.
• 0:33
  This winter, Pac-Man World Two repack will get a special Sonic
• 0:37
  themed update. Imagine Pac-Man running through
• 0:41
  a level, but instead of gobbling up pellets, he's collecting
• 0:44
  golden rings and dashing with Sonic super speed.
• 0:48
  There will even be a brand new stage designed just for Sonic
• 0:51
  fans where Pac-Man gets to show off some Sonic style moves.
• 0:55
  And that's not all. The fun continues into next year

  with Sonic Racing Cross Worlds. In early 2026, this speedy
• 1:03
  racing game will get a Pac-Man makeover.
• 1:06
  Players can zoom through Pack Village, munch on Pack dots, and
• 1:10
  even escape from the famous maze in the Pac-Man Mobile.
• 1:14
  There will be wacky new sounds, fun emotes, and colorful
• 1:17
  stickers to celebrate this epic crossover.
• 1:21
  It's a dream come true for fans of both Sonic and Pac-Man, and
• 1:24
  it shows that even the fastest hedgehog and the hungriest
• 1:28
  yellow circle can be best buddies in the world of games.
• 1:31
  If you can't wait to try it out, keep your eyes open for the
• 1:35
  Cross World's Open Network test starting August 29th.
• 1:39
  Maybe you'll be one of the first to race through these awesome
• 1:42
  new levels. Now, let's talk toys.
• 1:46
  This fall, a brand new Sonic the Hedgehog toy line is speeding
• 1:51
  onto store shelves and online shops.
• 1:55
  But these aren't just any Sonic toys.
• 1:58
  This time, Sonic and his friends are teaming up with some of the
• 2:02
  coolest superheroes from DC Comics.
• 2:05
  That means you might see Sonic dressed as Batman, Tales as
• 2:09
  Superman, or even Knuckles as The Flash.
• 2:13
  These toys are made by JKS Pacific, and they're perfect for
• 2:17
  fans who love action figures, comics, or just want to imagine
• 2:22
  Sonic zipping through Gotham City or Metropolis.
• 2:25
  But wait, there's more. Not only are there toys, but
• 2:30
  there's also a special comic book series where Sonic and his
• 2:33
  pals get superhero makeovers and go on new adventures.
• 2:38
  This partnership between Sega and DC Comics started last year,
• 2:42
  but it's getting even bigger in 2025 and 2026.
• 2:48
  So whether you like to read, collect, or just play, there's a
• 2:52
  Sonic superhero adventure waiting for you.
• 2:55
  For all the Sonic gamers out there, here's a bonus bit of
• 2:58
  news. Sega is celebrating Sonic's
• 3:01
  awesome racing history with a brand new game called Sonic
• 3:05
  Racing Cross Worlds. In a special video, fans can
• 3:09
  take a drive down memory lane and learn about all the wild and

  wacky Sonic racing games from the past.

  on June 5th, 2025. That means you'll be able to
• 3:35
  play as Sonic and Shadow right from day one if you get the new
• 3:39
  console. Before we wrap up, here's a
• 3:42
  quick Sonic fun fact. Did you know Sonic was inspired
• 3:45
  by a real animal? Hedgehogs may not run at
• 3:48
  supersonic speeds, but they do have spiky quills and love to

  curl up into a ball, just like Sonic does when he rolls through
• 3:55
  loops and dashes past bad guys. So what did we learn today?
