Sonic Dream Team – Shadow Levels Update Trailer

Sonic Dream Team – March 2025 update screens:

Today, SEGA released the latest update for Sonic Dream Team – the 3D Sonic the Hedgehog action-platformer, playable exclusively on Apple Arcade, Apple’s game subscription service that offers unlimited access to an evolving collection of more than 200 incredibly fun games. This update adds three new Shadow-exclusive levels to Adventure mode. These stages introduce a special mission that challenges the player to traverse a larger level, pathfinding back and forth whilst destroying nodes of nightmarish corruption spreading throughout the Dreamworld.

To learn more about the update, see below for a breakdown:

• Three brand-new levels!

  • Scrambled Shores, Dream Factory and Nightmare Maze each have a new Act playable only as Shadow.

  • Unlock them through the Shadow reward track, then explore these corrupted environments in Adventure!

• New mission

  • Nightmares are spreading through the Dreamworld, sprouting strange nodes of corrupted Magination.

  • Traverse these twisted environments, cleaning up outbreaks before exposing the nightmare’s weak points and destroying them for good!

• New interactable gameplay toys!

  • Trampolines and tightrope springs help players bound over chasms and up impassible walls.

  • Phase platforms flicker in and out of reality – lock them into position with Chaos Control.

  • Sequenced jump panels let players blast over vast distances with ease!

• A handful of small improvements

  • Many players have been asking if they can replay the tutorials, so these have now been moved to their own section in the Act select. Have fun!

  • Fixed an issue that stopped players from listening to certain music tracks during their adventures.

  • New SFX for Perfect Boost and Perfect Jump.

Sonic Dream Team is available on Apple Arcade and is playable across iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple TV, and Apple Vision Pro.
