July 18, 2025

Original post (10/8):In July,Segasoft launched their sequel to Sonic Dash, but now it’s almost ready for its global launch.For Android users in the Americas, Europe, Australia, and Africa, you can expect the game to arrive on August 15, 2025. Sega says that Sonic Dash 2 will be rolling out to other regions shortly after that.

This latest addition to the long-running Sonic franchise is specifically based upon the new Sonic cartoon “Sonic Boom”, and so you can not only expect the same universe from the series, but also the same cast of characters. Even the voice actors are all signed on for this one. As for the gameplay itself, while it bears similarity to the first Sonic Dash, there are plenty of improvements baked in including fully 3D artwork, a new team play mode that enables the player to race up three other characters, and even the option toplay each area as any available character.
