• Sonic Blitz launches softly in the Philippines
• Dynamic card battler features collectible decks with iconic Sonic characters
• Engage in battles across series-inspired locations and unleash Dash attack animations

Sega's acquisition of Rovio sparked expectations of fresh releases, but the swift arrival of Sonic Blitz in a surprise soft launch in the Philippines has caught many off guard!

Sonic Blitz stands out as a bold shift for the Sonic franchise. Unlike Sonic Rumble, a battle royale akin to Fall Guys, this is a deckbuilding card battler where players collect cards featuring beloved Sonic characters.

Despite its card-based format, Sonic Blitz keeps the pace brisk. With three-minute matches and ever-shifting rules, it’s designed for quick learning and hours of engaging fun with friends.

Rich Features and Dynamic Gameplay

Rovio’s inspiration for Sonic Blitz is clear. The collectible cards boast detailed 3D models, mirroring the immersive style of Pokémon TCG Pocket. The three-minute match format, popularized by Marvel Snap, ensures fast-paced mobile gameplay.

Sonic Blitz introduces its unique Dash attack mechanic, complete with vibrant animations for each card. While a global release date remains unannounced, a successful run in the Philippines could pave the way for wider availability soon.
