Sonic Dream Team will explore ‘a bizarre world of dreams’ on Apple Arcade
Sega has announced a new 3D platformer Sonic game. Titled Sonic Dream Teamthis next installment in the iconic series comes exclusively to Apple Arcade.
After a return to the classic 2D platformer style in Sonic Superstarsit resembles Sonic Dream Team gets a more modern touch. The official announcement trailer shows off a few levels and a lot of great characters that will appear in this next 3D platformer.
In this ‘bizarre world of dreams’, Sonic and his friends must prevent Dr. Eggman and his strange dreams come true. You can get your hands on this next title on December 5, 2023, but it will launch exclusively on Apple Arcade. According to the game’s App Store page, it will be playable on iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, Mac, and Apple TV.
From what we saw in the trailer, it looks like players will be able to control six characters; Sonic, Tails, Amy, Knuckles, Rouge or Cream. While this is a fantastic collection of likable characters, we’d be lying if we didn’t point out that the apparent lack of Shadow in this lineup is quite disappointing.
We also get to see a few levels in the launch trailer. There appears to be an iconic ring-chasing trek through dreamlike landscapes, and some interesting-looking boss battles. One of those battles involves a giant crab, while another sees an Eggman robot firing white-hot laser beams.
Only time will tell how this will happen Sonic game is received. The iPhone touchscreen experience may differ significantly from what players are used to, having previously used PS5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, or PC to play other titles. That being said, we hope so Sonic Dream Team offers fans an accessible and fantastic 3D platforming experience.
