When news of General Winter’s addition to the PC version of Sonic & All-Stars Racing: Transformed‘s roster dropped, it spurred on a lot of questions and complaints asking if this PC-exclusive content was all that was left for the game. Steve Lycett of Sumo Digital has confirmed that is not the case, and on the official forums said this:
…no-one has said we’re done with the game. We’ve not forgot about the poll either. It’s not up to us who we add to the game…I’ll leave you with one interesting tidbit. This isn’t the character I mentioned we’d got approval on either, that was definitely one of the poll topping ones.
For those of you that haven’t seen the poll, at the top of it were these characters:
-Ryo Hazuki: 3379
-Hatsune Miku: 3180
-Segata Sanshiro: 2613
-Vectorman: 1221
-Bayonetta: 1215
-Ristar: 1081
-ToeJam & Earl: 1015
Although there’s characters I’d prefer to see first from that list, it looks like the chances of seeing Ryo Hazuki are definitely possible. Who would you like to see next?

I saw General Winter show up on the PC roster and was like, wow so that’s the new character huh? lol Good to hear there’s more coming
Hopefully a more traditional Sega character, eh 😛
Something to note – SEGA recently did a big push on localizing Hatsune Miku stuff. She could still happen.
