Sonic Dream Team gets new Shadow Levels update, out now

Sonic Dream Team is set to receive a thrilling new update that introduces additional levels for the beloved character Shadow the Hedgehog. This update arrives just in time for the weekend, promising a host of exciting new features.

The update includes three new stages and introduces a fresh mission type within the Adventure mode, all centered around Shadow. Since his introduction in December last year, this update aims to enhance his mechanics and playability, offering fans more ways to enjoy this iconic character.

Alongside these new stages, players can look forward to a variety of new interactable objects, such as trampolines, phased platforms, and tightrope springs. These additions will enhance gameplay, allowing you to utilize Shadow's Chaos Shift ability to cleanse the Dream of corruption and combat the growing Nightmares.

Shadow's resurgence in popularity, notably boosted by Keanu Reeves voicing the character, has been remarkable. Since Sega's acquisition of Rovio in 2023, there has been a noticeable surge in the quality of their mobile games. While Sonic Dream Team predates this acquisition, its success has likely influenced Sega's future mobile game launches.

Looking ahead, the upcoming Sonic Rumble, a battle royale-style multiplayer game, represents a bold departure from the traditional Sonic gameplay seen in Dream Team. Whether this shift will be a misstep or a successful innovation remains to be seen upon its release.
