Story Highlights

  • Sonic Blitz delivers fast, strategic three-minute card battles with beloved Sonic characters.
  • The game features iconic locations, Ring Journey, signature DASH mechanic, PvP battles, great rewards, and more.
  • The cards feature detailed 3D models that come to life during DASH attacks.

Rovio Entertainment, famously known for the Angry Birds series, in partnership with SEGA, has quietly debuted their latest game, Sonic Blitz, a card-battling title, on Android and iOS platforms in the Philippines. This venture comes after SEGA’s acquisition of Rovio for €706m in 2023. At present, there is no news regarding a global release.

Dive into daily card collecting and fast-paced PvP card battles

Sonic Blitz brings an exciting twist to the Collectible Card Game (CCG) world, featuring fast-paced three-minute matches brimming with strategy and iconic Sonic characters. Players can open a fresh booster pack every day, construct a team of 12 cards, and jump into thrilling 1v1 battles. Unlike Pokémon TCG Pocket or DIGIMON ALYSION, this game offers a unique experience.

I was surprised when I learned that a Sonic game would adopt a Collectible Card Game (CCG) format, but the speedy spin it puts on the genre and the intricate 3D character models make it work well. To be honest, I’m thrilled about assembling squads featuring characters such as Knuckles, Super Sonic, Amy, and others because each one offers a unique gameplay style and special abilities.

Your cards spring to life with DASH as characters leap out to attack or finish the fight

Furthermore, the game is simple to grasp initially, yet offers a rich experience due to its diverse strategic rules. To emerge victorious in this game, you need to anticipate your rival’s next move and synchronize your DASH ability skillfully. When executed correctly, your cards spring into action as characters engage in combat or deliver the final blow.

This recently announced mobile game starring Sonic the Hedgehog seems quite promising, featuring classic locales like Green Hill and Sky Sanctuary, as well as Ring Journey, Dash functionality, player versus player battles, iconic characters, generous rewards, and much more. For Sonic enthusiasts, SEGA’s Sonic Rumble is another exciting development to look forward to.

The fast-paced game called “Sonic Blitz” is now accessible in a soft release on Android and iOS platforms within the Philippines. Players can download it from the Google Play Store or App Store. At this moment, details about a worldwide launch are unavailable. Keep an eye out for further announcements!
