## [](#new-confirmed-characters)New confirmed characters

The characters that have been announced are as follows, Metal Sonic, Zavok, and Dr. Eggman. Team Sonic Racing launches this summer on consoles.

And while Dr. Eggman and Metal Sonic where in no way going to be a surprise it is nice to see Zavok making a return as well.

Team Sonic Racing is scheduled to be released by Sega on May 21, 2019. It was initially slated for release in late 2018, but Sega delayed it in October to give Sumo Digital more development time.

It’s going to have to battle with Crash Team Racing; Nitro Fueled though. But as we reported earlier that might have a slight delay on the Nintendo Switch, giving Sonic a head start.
