SEGA Publishing Korea has revealed the Season 2 roadmap and new collaboration DLC details for the racing game 'Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds'.
In this announcement, four new collaborations were revealed: 'Virtual Sanrio Puroland', 'SEGALAND', 'Final Fantasy VII Remake Series', and 'Persona'. Including the previously announced 'Godzilla' and 'Evangelion', all six DLC packs included in Season Pass 2 have been confirmed.
Season 2 will begin on November 4, with the first collaboration, the 'Godzilla Pack', scheduled for release between November 2026 and March 2027. The DLC features the Godzilla-themed Power-type machine 'Godzilla Cruiser', the Mothra-based Boost-type 'Mothra Surf', and the King Ghidorah-themed 'King Ghidorah Coupe'. A new racing track, 'Godzilla Escape', will also be added.
The 'EVANGELION Pack' will be released in January 2027. Rei Ayanami and Asuka Langley Shikinami will join as racers, along with three machines themed after Evangelion Unit-00, EVA-01, and EVA-02.
Between April and August 2027, the 'Virtual Sanrio Puroland Pack' and 'SEGALAND Pack' will be released sequentially. The Sanrio collaboration features Hello Kitty and Kuromi as racers, along with dedicated machines and a track recreating the theme park. Various Sanrio characters, including Cinnamoroll, My Melody, and Pompompurin, will also appear on the track.
The 'SEGALAND Pack' showcases a course that recreates SEGA's iconic games as a theme park. Vehicles inspired by SEGA's classic arcade games will appear, including Virtua Fighter's large arcade cabinet 'SUPER MEGALO', 'AFTER BURNER', and 'OutRun'.
Following that, between September and December 2027, the 'Final Fantasy VII Remake Series Pack' and 'Persona Pack' are scheduled to be released. The Persona collaboration includes 'Persona 3 Reload', 'Persona 4 Revival', and 'Persona 5 Royal', with specific details for both DLC packs to be revealed at a later date.
Aside from the paid DLC, free updates will also be rolled out. Aigis from 'Persona 3 Reload' and Bayonetta from 'Bayonetta' will join as new racers, while a collaboration with real-world motorsport team 'McLaren Racing' will add a dedicated machine and a special-edition Sonic.
With the start of Season 2, the new game mode 'Duel' will also be provided for free. Duel is a 1v1 competitive mode available both online and offline, where players can strategically compete while viewing their opponent's equipped items and gadgets. A 'Duel Dash' system that charges over time or when using items is also introduced, providing comeback opportunities by increasing the gauge charge rate the further a player lags behind.
The Gadget System will also be expanded. A 'Superslot', which grants more powerful effects than standard slots, is added to allow equipping gadgets across a total of 7 slots, along with 15 new gadgets. Additionally, various improvements will be applied, such as DLC characters appearing as COM racers and extended durations for Festa events.
