Despite being more than a month since its release, Super Monkey Ball: Banana Rumble h as continued to run and the content keeps coming. A new multiplayer stage was recently added, along with SEGA Pass DLC characters Tails, Knuckles and Amy from the Sonic The Hedgehog series – and now SEGA has announced that the rumble is just getting started. The official X site for Super Monkey Ball shared the news via a content update schedule that can be seen below:
In September, a free-to-play multiplayer mode will be added to the game, along with paid DLC characters Axel and Beat plus the SEGA Costume Pack. Then later, before the end of the year, we’ll get free additional multiplayer modes and stages, as well as more characters.
Who those characters will be is anyone’s guess, but it’s worth noting that the previous game, Super Monkey Ball: Banana Mania, had Hello Kitty, Monster Rancher’s Suezo, and Persona 5’s Morgana as paid DLC before their rosters were downloaded. down. Yakuza’s Kazuma Kiryu also joined the Banana Mania gang as a free DLC, but is still unknown in Banana Rumble. Other candidates could be another Sonic character in Shadow the Hedgehog – it is the year of the Shadow, after all – or perhaps someone else from SEGA’s wide range of IPs. In any case, the lack of a “free” mark above the box with the additional characters suggests that they will be available as paid DLC, possibly in another SEGA Pass.
