SEGA has confirmed that Big the Cat, Cream the Rabbit and Cheese the Chao will be playable in Sonic Pico Park, the publisher announced alongside a new Tokyo Game Show 2026 trailer.
The company has set the game's release date for November 12, 2026, and the TGS footage demonstrates the new roster additions in action.
Sonic Pico Park is a new entry in SEGA's broader Sonic portfolio.
SEGA—a developer and publisher with a long history of Sonic titles—used the Tokyo Game Show stage to show gameplay and character reveals.
The announcement follows the publisher's typical promotional cadence for franchise entries and arrives as fans await the game's November launch.
In journalistic terms, social coverage amplified the TGS reveal: Sonic City reported that Big the Cat, Cream the Rabbit and Cheese the Chao are confirmed playable in Sonic Pico Park and shared the new trailer footage.
Rewriting that statement for clarity: Sonic City noted that SEGA's TGS trailer explicitly depicts Big the Cat, Cream the Rabbit and Cheese the Chao as playable characters, ahead of the game's scheduled release on November 12, 2026.
The addition of these characters expands Sonic Pico Park's playable lineup and taps into long-running franchise favorites.
Big the Cat originally debuted in the Sonic series in the early 2000s, while Cream the Rabbit and her companion Cheese the Chao have been recurring supporting characters across multiple Sonic titles.
SEGA's TGS trailer puts these characters in gameplay scenarios that highlight varied movement and interaction styles.
For Nintendo-focused audiences, it's worth noting that Sonic franchise titles have maintained a presence on Nintendo platforms—many Sonic releases have appeared on Nintendo Switch and the Nintendo eShop in recent years.
While SEGA's TGS announcement confirmed the character roster and the November 12 release date, platform-specific availability and digital storefront details will be clarified by SEGA in follow-up communications.
With Sonic Pico Park due November 12, 2026, publishers and fans will be watching for additional trailers, platform confirmations and eShop listings as SEGA finalizes launch plans.
The TGS trailer supplied the first extended look at the playable cast and sets expectations for imminent pre-release marketing and technical details.
