Pre-Release Details
The following information has been revealed about the storyline:
 * It has been said that "no worlds will be safe" this time.
 * It has been confirmed that the Mega Man X and Sonic Boom worlds will be included
 * It will be bigger than the original crossover.
 * In addition to both Sonic and Mega Man's worlds, the worlds of Sonic Boom and Mega Man X will also be involved.
 * It was confirmed that for the Mega Man X universe, the event will take place chronologically between Mega Man X7 and Mega Man X8.
 * If the storyline lasts as long as Worlds Collide, it will again have two anniversary issues cross through the series with Mega Man #50 and Sonic the Hedgehog #275. As well, like the original, Sonic Universe #75 will be the last issue of that title before the jump into the crossover. The story will also take up issues of the Sonic Boom comic series.
 * Based on the numbering of the "Countdown to Worlds Unite" logo on the covers and the release order of the issues, the storyline could probably begin in Sonic Universe #76; however, this is currently unconfirmed.
 * Sonic Universe #76's cover show that Worlds Unite does begin with Sonic Universe #76
 * The FCBD Sonic the Hedgehog/Mega Man 2015 flip book reveals that they will have two stories that lead into the story, most likely meaning that it will has partial stories from Sonic the Hedgehog #272 and Mega Man #49.

 * Sigma, the arch-enemy of X, will play a major role in this crossover, ending up in Sonic's world, enslaving Dr. Eggman and Dr. Wily, and recruiting the Deadly Six from Sonic Lost World into his army.
 * Sonic and Mega Man will be captured by Sigma's forces during the first act of the crossover with the former being turned into a new Roboticized Master, Sonic Man, and the latter being re-programmed with Eggman technology, becoming M'egga Man.
