SEGA and HARDlight have released the Sonic The Hedgehog 3 update for action platformer Sonic Dream Team, which adds Shadow as a playable character, plus new challenges, powers, music, statues, and a new tutorial.

Dive into Tails’ Challenges and take control of Shadow! Experience special Challenge levels, earn new rewards, and unlock Shadow for use in Adventure. Manipulate time with Shadow’s special abilities, Chaos Control and Chaos Shift. Lock enemies and the environment in place as you tear through levels to achieve your goal.

Grab a new set of Powers to add to your loadouts through the new Shadow rewards! Quick Grind, Perfect Jump, Chain Attack, and Perfect Boost are available for all characters, whilst Shadow can access the exclusive Double Chaos Shift, and Extended Chaos Control. Six new Shadow-themed statues, and more fan-favourite music tracks have been added to Tails’ Challenges for players to expand collections.

A fully reworked tutorial level has been added to help new players get to grips with the game. There’s never been a better time to try Sonic Dream Team.

Sonic Dream Team is available now for Apple Arcade.
