Sonic Racing: Crossworlds received a wealth of DLC after launching last September, expanding the character roster. Paid DLC packs featured characters and locations from crossover IPs including Minecraft, SpongeBob SquarePants, Pac-Man and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

This was supplemented with free updates adding 13 characters from other Sega IPs, including Crazy Taxi’s Axel, Ichiban Kasuga from Yakuza, AiAi from Super Monkey Ball and Mega Man.

Now, Sega has committed to a second year of DLC, confirming that Bayonetta will be the first free character to join Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds in Year Two. Bayonetta will be playable with a new vehicle: the Butterfly Witch.
