SEGA has confirmed that characters from the iconic anime Evangelion will join Sonic Racing CrossWorlds as paid downloadable content in January.
The publisher said the second Year Two DLC pack will bring the franchise crossover to the kart racer, adding two playable characters, a themed course, three EVA vehicles and a selection of music and cosmetic items.
In its announcement, SEGA outlined the DLC contents in clear terms: both Rei and Asuka will be available as playable characters; the Tokyo-III course will arrive as a new track; EVA-00, EVA-01, and EVA-02 will be introduced as vehicle skins; and the pack will include additional music tracks, emotes, and sound effects.
SEGA confirmed the content will be offered as paid DLC and included as part of the Year Two Season Pass.
This cross-promotion pairs Evangelion's visual and audio assets with the established kart-racing mechanics of Sonic Racing CrossWorlds.
SEGA released concept art alongside the announcement showcasing the character designs adapted for the game's style.
