Sega's Card Game Launches in Philippines

by Sarah Jan 07,2026

Sonic Blitz has just entered soft launch in the Philippines

This fast-paced card battler features collectible decks inspired by iconic Sonic characters

Compete across familiar series locations and unleash Dash attacks to trigger unique animations

When Sega acquired Rovio, most industry observers anticipated a wave of new releases – but few predicted they'd arrive this quickly. The latest surprise is Sonic Blitz, which has unexpectedly debuted in Philippine soft launch!

Sonic Blitz marks a distinctive entry in the franchise's mobile lineup. Unlike titles like Sonic Rumble (a Fall Guys-inspired battle royale), this represents a bold new direction – a deckbuilding card battler where players collect cards featuring beloved Sonic characters.

Despite its card game format, Sonic Blitz maintains the series' signature speed. With dynamic three-minute matches featuring constantly changing rules, the game offers easy-to-learn mechanics designed to deliver lasting competitive fun.

Drawing from multiple inspirations

The inspirations behind Sonic Blitz become apparent upon closer inspection. The cards showcase detailed 3D models striving for authenticity, reminiscent of Pokémon TCG Pocket's approach. The quickfire match format recalls another licensed mobile hit – Marvel Snap.

Sonic Blitz introduces its own innovative mechanic through Dash attacks, which trigger character-specific animations. While global release details remain unconfirmed, strong performance during this Philippine test could accelerate wider rollout plans.
