Sega set the last paid Year 1 drop for Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds on October 13, 2026. Aang and Katara, from Avatar Legends, join the track in that pack. The game's official account posted the announcement on October 2.
The pack can be bought separately or unlocked with the Season Pass, according to Nintendo Life. It follows paid additions with characters from Minecraft, SpongeBob, Pac-Man, Mega Man and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. The pack entry on Avatar Wiki lists the Lion Turtle Island track, the Gliding Air vehicle and an in-game themed festival from October 15 to 18.
What comes after Year 1
Sega has already confirmed a second year of content. Bayonetta was revealed as the first free Year 2 character. That second-year showcase airs during the World Championship final broadcast on October 9, 2026.
There is also a weekend Hatsune Miku event, the 2nd Festival, cited by Nintendo Wire for early October. That event is separate from the Avatar pack.
What the announcement does not settle
The official post locks the Aang and Katara date and the October 9 stream. It does not detail a standalone price or the full Year 2 list. Bayonetta as the first free Year 2 character was already confirmed by Sega, not a debut this week.
