Sonic Speed Battle
Sonic Speed Battle brings together 24 iconic Sonic characters from across the franchise to battle! Experience three dynamic battle modes, each offering a unique gameplay experience. Players can challenge their friends to test their speed, gear up for a shooting battle showdown, or prove their Master Emerald hunting skills! Since its launch in 2016, KessCo has consistently contributed to innovation in the toy industry through the introduction of its own successful intellectual properties. As the company continues to expand, KessCo plans to further embrace licensing across its product range, with Sonic the Hedgehog being one of its most anticipated entertainment licenses to date.
"The demand for another Sonic tabletop game has been undeniable, making it tough for us to keep Sonic Speed Battle a secret," acknowledges Alex Kessler, CEO of KessCo. "We're excited to introduce a game inspired by some of our favorite Sonic titles like Sonic Adventure 2. With more than 20 characters and three game modes, there is something here for Sonic fans and tabletop game fans of all ages."
