Developer Hardlight and publisher Sega dropped an update today, December 18, for the Apple Arcade exclusive Sonic Dream Team, which adds Shadow the Hedgehog as a new playable character.
Shadow has his own abilities revolving around his Chaos powers, rather than simply being a reskinned version of Sonic. He can use his Chaos Control and Chaos Shift abilities, which lock enemies and environments in place. These powers can be unlocked by completing Shadow’s challenges.
Players can enter Tails’ Challenges to unlock Shadow to use in Adventure mode. There are also six new Shadow-themed statues to collect, a reworked tutorial, and new music tracks.
