Sonic Racing CrossWorlds Gets Free Tangle & Whisper Character Update

Sega announced through the official Sonic Racing CrossWorlds social media account that the popular mobile racing game is receiving a free character update featuring Tangle the Lemur and Whisper the Wolf.

The two characters, who first appeared in the Sonic the Hedgehog IDW comic series, have become fan favorites since their introduction. Tangle is known for her stretchy tail abilities and energetic personality, while Whisper is a more reserved character who wields powerful Wispon weapons.

Sonic Racing CrossWorlds launched as a mobile racing game featuring characters from across the Sonic universe. The game allows players to race as various Sonic characters through different tracks and environments, collecting items and competing in tournaments.

This free update continues Sega's commitment to expanding the game's roster with beloved characters from the broader Sonic franchise. The addition of IDW comic characters shows how the publisher is embracing content from across different Sonic media.

The update represents another step in bringing comic-exclusive characters into video games, giving fans who may not read the comics a chance to experience these popular characters in an interactive format. Both Tangle and Whisper have appeared in other recent Sonic games, making their mobile racing debut here.

Players can expect the update to roll out soon, though specific timing details weren't provided in the initial announcement.
