Sonic Racing CrossWorlds: TMNT DLC Is Live — Godzilla and Evangelion Join Year 2

Leave a comment

Cowabunga — Leonardo, Raphael, Michelangelo, and Donatello have crashed into Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds as DLC Pack 5, bringing the iconic Pizzafire Van and a brand-new New York City course with them. Better still, a limited TMNT in-game Festival Event is running until 2 August — which means Singapore players still have time this weekend to rack up Festival Points for exclusive decals, a new gadget, and a unique title before the event closes.

What’s in the Sonic Racing CrossWorlds TMNT DLC Pack

The pack adds all four turtles as fully playable characters, each with a distinct look drawn from the Mutant Mayhem film and cartoon designs. Every turtle comes with six unique emotes — 24 in total — along with the shared Pizzafire Van vehicle, a new New York City race track, and a batch of TMNT-inspired music tracks.

Pricing is USD 5.99 for the standalone pack, or it’s included with the USD 29.99 Year 1 Season Pass (which also comes bundled into the Digital Deluxe Edition of the game). The pack is live now on PS5, Nintendo Switch 2, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam. Check your regional storefront for the local price — Singapore players will find it listed in SGD on the PlayStation Store and Nintendo eShop.

Racing Through New York City

The New York City course pulls straight from the TMNT playbook — neon-soaked streets, city intersections with live traffic, and the kind of chaotic urban energy the franchise has always thrived on. It’s a visually distinct track from the rest of the CrossWorlds roster, and it fits surprisingly well into a game already juggling racing lanes borrowed from Minecraft, SpongeBob, and Mega Man.

Year 2 Is Where It Gets Wild — Godzilla and Evangelion on the Way

TMNT is the fifth of six Year 1 DLC packs, with Avatar: The Last Airbender (Aang and Katara) arriving in October to complete the first season. But the more exciting news for Singapore fans is what’s coming next.

SEGA confirmed at Summer Game Fest 2026 that a Season Pass Two will launch in Fall 2026 and run six additional packs. The first two crossovers are already confirmed: Godzilla and Neon Genesis Evangelion. Both get their own dedicated courses — Godzilla Escape and Tokyo-III respectively — making it clear that SEGA is leaning hard into Japan-originated IP for the second year of content. That’s very good news for Singapore and Southeast Asian fans, where both Evangelion and Godzilla have enormous fanbases. The remaining four Year 2 packs are still unannounced.

If you want a taste of what’s ahead, SEGA dropped a brief look at the Year 2 crossovers during the Summer of Gaming showcase — Tokyo-III’s rain-soaked highways and towering Angel silhouettes are exactly as wild as you’d hope.

Should Singapore Players Pick Up Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds?

Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds launched in September 2025 on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, Switch 2, and PC, and the Nintendo Switch 2 physical edition hit Asia in March 2026. With 55 playable characters now in the roster — spanning Sonic’s own cast, Minecraft creepers, SpongeBob, Pac-Man, Mega Man, and the Turtles — it’s built squarely as a fan-service racer in the mould of Mario Kart but opened up to the wider pop-culture universe. Check our Game News section for more on what’s coming to Switch 2 and PS5 this year.

For fans already in the game, the TMNT Festival Event is your priority this weekend — it ends on 2 August, so get those Festival Points in before the clock runs out.

Godzilla × Sanrio Characters: Hello Kitty Goes Kaiju — Merch Hits Japan 22 July

Leave a comment

Toho and Sanrio have pulled off one of the sweetest cross-franchise collabs of 2026: seven of Sanrio’s most beloved characters are suiting up as Godzillas from five different film eras, and the merchandise arrives at Japanese retailers on 22 July 2026.

Sanrio Characters Dressed Across 70 Years of Godzilla

The lineup draws from the full sweep of the Godzilla franchise rather than sticking to a single era, which is exactly what makes it so nerdy-fun. Each Sanrio character is paired with a specific version of the King of the Monsters:

  • Hello Kitty — the 1954 original, grey-scaled and roaring
  • Cinnamoroll — also the 1954 Godzilla, complete with his floppy ears still visible inside the suit
  • My Melody — the Heisei-era Burning Godzilla, rendered in warm reddish-brown
  • Kuromi — a dark, spiked version drawing on the MechaGodzilla design
  • My Sweet Piano — a creamy beige kaiju variant all her own
  • Pompompurin — a fire-chested Godzilla with glowing orange accents
  • Hangyodon — a sleek dark-blue variant with distinctive shoulder fins

The official key art shows all seven marching side by side, Godzilla footprints and Sanrio motifs — bows, skulls, apples, swirls — scattered across the background. It should not work as well as it does.

Full Merch Lineup and Prices

The collection spans a wide range of price points, from affordable flat goods to collectible plush pieces:

  • Plush mascot keychains (マスコット) — ¥3,080 (~S$28) each; Hello Kitty, Cinnamoroll, My Melody, Kuromi, Pompompurin, Hangyodon, and My Sweet Piano all available, each with a ball-chain and a hidden zip detail at the back
  • 3D rubber keychains (立体マスコットキーホルダー) — seven characters in soft-rubber form on coloured strap clips
  • 3-link acrylic keychains — three characters on a single keychain set
  • Random mini acrylic stands (blind box) — ¥660 (~S$6); 10 types plus one secret variant
  • Die-cut stickers and flake sticker sheets — from ¥660 (~S$6)
  • Embroidered mini towels (刺繍ミニタオル) — ¥990 (~S$9) in three colourways, printed with character motifs and Godzilla footprints
  • Melamine tumbler (メラミンタンブラー) — ¥935 (~S$8.50); features a sweet surprise — once the drink is gone, a hidden Piano-chan illustration appears at the bottom of the cup

On Sale 22 July at the Godzilla Store, Don Quijote and Bic Camera

The collection hits three retail channels simultaneously across Japan on 22 July 2026: the official Godzilla Store (Tokyo and other locations), Don Quijote branches nationwide, and Bic Camera stores. The wide retail spread gives the collab real reach beyond the niche collector market.

No international shipping or online storefront has been confirmed at time of writing, which makes this effectively an import-only line for Singapore fans. If you have a Japan trip planned this summer’s school holidays — and Don Quijote is already on your Tokyo itinerary — this is one more reason to budget some extra baggage space. Proxy and forwarding services are the other obvious route if you cannot make it in person.
