Get ready for a Sonic boom! With Sonic the Hedgehog 3 just around the corner, Sega is revving up the excitement with a series of awesome updates across its mobile game lineup. From Apple Arcade's Sonic Dream Team to Sonic Dash and Sonic Forces on the App Store and Google Play, these updates are packed with fresh content inspired by the upcoming movie.

First up, Sonic Forces gets a major boost on December 12th with the addition of a brand-new Metro-city Zone! This update features three challenging tracks where you can race as Movie Shadow, Movie Sonic, and other familiar favorites. It's the perfect pre-movie warm-up—complete all the levels before heading to the theater!

Next, on December 18th, Sonic Dream Team gets a supercharged update. Shadow the Hedgehog joins the playable roster, bringing his signature Chaos Control and Chaos Shift powers to the mix. Unlock him by tackling Tails’ Challenges. These powers let you manipulate time, freezing enemies and the environment for strategic advantages.

Beyond Shadow's arrival, new powers like Quick Grind and Perfect Boost are added for all characters, and exclusive upgrades, including Double Chaos Shift, significantly enhance Shadow's abilities. Six new Shadow-themed statues and music tracks are also included, along with a revamped tutorial to help new players get started.

And the fun doesn't stop there! Sonic Dash's update drops on December 20th, letting you collect cards to unlock Movie Shadow and Movie Sonic. Daily collectible rewards add extra excitement. Sonic Dash+, on Apple Arcade, will follow in January with its own Shadow-themed updates.
