Sega Hardlight has revealed that Shadow the Hedgehog will be added to the playable roster of Sonic Dream Team on December 18, bringing his signature Chaos abilities. Sonic Dream Team is an Apple Arcade exclusive title that was first released in December 2023. This game is the first fully 3D platformer developed by Sega Hardlight; the studio's previous mobile outings included endless racing games like Sonic Forces: Speed Battle and Sonic Dash. Dream Team boasts a roster of six playable characters, split between Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, Amy, Cream, and Rouge.
Sonic Dream Team has received a variety of post-launch updates since it first launched, including a brand-new zone known as "Sweet Dream," a bonus level containing some of the hardest challenges. This game is also getting post-launch content as part of the "Fearless: Year of Shadow" event, which focuses on Sonic's anti-hero rival. Similar to how Sonic X Shadow Generations promoted him to a starring role, Shadow is going to be playable in Sonic Dream Team as well. While Shadow's addition was revealed back in September, fans finally have a date for his Dream Team debut.
