Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds datamine surfaces possible Year 2 roster additions
SEGA’s free-to-play kart racer Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds was the subject of fresh datamine activity following a sizable 2.0.0 update.
Files uncovered and circulated online have sparked conversation about which characters might join the game in Year 2 — though SEGA has not issued any official confirmations.
What the datamine shows
A datamine shared by user VocaloidMikuBr reportedly extracted references to multiple named characters from the update’s files.
Among the most notable entries are Cloud Strife and Tifa Lockhart, both associated with Final Fantasy VII Remake content.
The presence of Cloud and Tifa in the game’s files would align with their popularity within the Final Fantasy 7 cast, and their inclusion in data entries has been interpreted by some datamine observers as a hint toward a Final Fantasy-themed DLC pack.
The datamine also contains other character identifiers.
Files reference an entry labeled “Marisa,” which some in the community have associated with the Touhou series, and additional entries that read as Movie Sonic, Will (potentially linked to Metaphor: ReFantazio in file names), Sakura Shinguji (from Sakura Wars), and Akira Yuki (from Virtua Fighter).
Rewriting notable community statements in journalistic terms: fans were quick to inspect the 2.0.0 update’s files, and those data-crunching efforts surfaced multiple character references that could represent forthcoming DLC or crossover content.
Observers noted that while Cloud and Tifa would be unsurprising additions given their profile, the datamine’s content does not include an official reveal from SEGA and should not be treated as confirmation of release plans.
What to keep in mind
Datamined file entries indicate potential future content, but they do not constitute an official roadmap.
SEGA has not publicly confirmed these characters, release windows, or pricing.
For players who follow Switch storefront updates and Nintendo Direct announcements, official additions would typically be announced via SEGA channels, the game’s patch notes, or platform storefront listings such as the Nintendo eShop.
If and when SEGA issues an official Year 2 roadmap or character reveal, it will supersede any datamine-based reporting.
Until then, the community discussion reflects early discovery rather than confirmed DLC plans.
Fans can follow official SEGA announcements and the Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds patch notes for verified updates.
