SEGA late Friday promoted a wave of new content for *Sonic Racing CrossWorlds* and the reveal of a new licenced indie game, *Sonic Pico Park*, at this year's *Summer Game Fest* in Los Angeles, CA.

It's news that landed amid anticipation from Sonic fans as the [franchise's 35th anniversary](https://news.tailschannel.com/sonic-35th-anniversary-celebrations-officially-launches-with-new-microsite-and-marketing-campaign/) approaches later this June.

## TMNT and Avatar Pack coming to *CrossWorlds* later this year

The *Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles* pack will arrive in July 2026 with all four Turtles (that being Leonardo, Donatello, Raphael, and Michelangelo) playable with new courses and music.

The *Avatar Legends* pack will follow in October 2026 to [complete](https://xcancel.com/RaceCrossWorlds/status/2063029376720191653?ref=news.tailschannel.com) the game's first Season Pass, with Aang and Katara alongside new vehicles, courses, music, and emotes.

## *Evangelion* and *Godzilla* in the second year of *CrossWorlds* DLC line-up

Sonic fans will now get the chance to race as Rei Ayanami and Asuka Langley Sohryu in the *Neon Genesis Evangelion* downloadable content package. That, and *Godzilla*, were two of the six upcoming packs slated for the game's second wave of post-launch content for 2027.

It's a positive development after uncertainty about the game's long-term prospects, spurred by the financial reports from SEGA's parent company that [flagged](https://bsky.app/profile/tailschannel.com/post/3me5bxidkbx2z?ref=news.tailschannel.com) missed internal sales targets.

The crossovers didn't receive a specific release date yet, but SEGA said in a statement forwarded to *Tails' Channel* that both packs will feature "intense courses, larger-than-life characters, and more."

Meanwhile, the *Godzilla* pack is an extension of an active cross-promotional relationship between SEGA and Toho's top franchise. *Sonic Rumble* launched a Godzilla [crossover event](https://news.tailschannel.com/sonic-rumble-launching-limited-time-crossover-with-godzilla/) in late December 2025, and IDW Publishing's *Sonic* comic book series will cross over with Godzilla in a [multi-part mini-series](https://news.tailschannel.com/sonic-the-hedgehog-x-godzilla-issue-1-review/), with the first issue out 15 July.

*Sonic Pico Park* will take the cooperative puzzle structure of the 2016 indie game *Pico Park* and rebuild it around Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, and Amy, with Sonic-like mechanics worked into the stages.

The game's set for a 2026 release, with a [wishlist due to open](https://store.steampowered.com/app/4304060/?ref=news.tailschannel.com) on Steam.

## No word about a rumoured *Frontiers* "Definitive Edition"

The announcements arrived against a backdrop of speculation about the rumoured "Definitive Edition" of *Sonic Frontiers*, [among other things](https://xcancel.com/Cybrid101/status/2061532574430712059?ref=news.tailschannel.com).

[Retail listings](https://bsky.app/profile/tailschannel.com/post/3mnl2j3f2wm2o?ref=news.tailschannel.com), a [ratings board submission](https://www.gematsu.com/2026/03/sonic-frontiers-definitive-edition-rated-in-korea?ref=news.tailschannel.com), and [magazine reports](https://www.dealabs.com/magazine/sonic-frontiers-definitive-edition-sortira-bien-sur-switch-2-on-vous-devoile-de-nouvelles-infos-61378?ref=news.tailschannel.com) all fed the expectation of a potential announcement. Though SEGA has said nothing on the matter, the pattern tracks with how [past Sonic titles](https://bsky.app/profile/tailschannel.com/post/3mjmvjcppi62z?ref=news.tailschannel.com) have surfaced before an official acknowledgement.

Online discussion in recent weeks had been split between *Summer Game Fest* and a potential [third-party video presentation](https://xcancel.com/SAAC%5FNews/status/2057130660226126227?ref=news.tailschannel.com) as the more likely venue for a major Sonic announcement. With today's news now out, an in-house *Sonic Central* (as alleged by [one outlet](https://xcancel.com/soniccitynet/status/2052510897969738138?ref=news.tailschannel.com) of questionable origin) looks increasingly improbable.
