Sega’s strategy for *CrossWorlds* appears to hinge on recognizable crossovers: rather than simply expanding the roster with characters from the *Sonic* universe, the studio is bringing in brands that extend beyond the racing genre. *Godzilla* and *Evangelion* will attract an audience that might not have been interested in *Sonic Racing* initially, while Bayonetta links the game to another major Sega IP.
