Sonic Dream Team

Sonic Dream Team is a 2023 platformer developed by Hardlight and published by Sega. An installment in the Sonic the Hedgehog series, it was released on iOS, macOS and tvOS through Apple Arcade on December 5, 2023. The game follows Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, Amy Rose, Rouge and Cream traversing across Reverie Haven which is corrupted by Doctor Eggman—using a mysterious device protected by a guardian named Ariem—to stop him. As one of the six characters, the player will collect Dream Orbs by completing a series of missions across multiple stages. Every character, each with their own unique abilities, can be unlocked to the player after collecting enough Dream Orbs. The multi-character aspect of the game marks a return to similar 3D gameplay first in Sonic Adventure (1998) and Sonic Heroes (2003).

Dream Team's dream world was created as a result of shaping the game's narrative around bringing back Cream, wanting it to feel like a natural reason why she would be put in harm's way. The game itself was shaped around the idea of being in an exhilarating state of flow, with levels being designed to emulate rollercoasters and half pipes. The game was developed in under 2 years and is the first 3D Sonic game on mobile. Hardlight had previously worked on other Sonic mobile titles such as Sonic Jump (2012), Sonic Dash (2013) and Sonic Forces: Speed Battle (2017).

Sonic Dream Team received a generally positive reception for its gameplay and visuals, although it received criticism for its story and short length. The game is expected to receive several content updates, with the first one released on February 14, 2024. A fifth update was released in December 2024 which added Shadow the Hedgehog to the game and a sixth update featuring a mini campaign for the character was released in March 2025.

Sonic Dream Team is a 3D platformer which follows Sonic the Hedgehog and his friends through various worlds taking place inside of Doctor Eggman's dreams. The game initially features six playable characters; Sonic, Amy Rose, Tails, Cream the Rabbit, Knuckles the Echidna and Rouge the Bat. After completing certain tasks, Shadow can be unlocked as a seventh playable character. In addition to performing homing attacks and using the boost gauge, Sonic and Amy can Air Dash and Light Dash through rows of rings, Tails and Cream can fly for short periods of time, and Knuckles and Rouge can glide and climb up walls. Shadow's homing attack is replaced with an aimable Chaos Shift, and he can also use Chaos Control to slow down time. Players can switch between available characters in order to use their abilities to reach areas of each level others can't.

The main campaign features 4 worlds that are each broken down into 3 acts, which are further broken down into 1 open-ended exploration level and 6 action levels that utilize different characters. In order to progress through the story, the player must collect the Dream Orbs scattered throughout the levels and defeat the boss of each world. Following the release of Update 2, a fifth world was added called Sweet Dreams, which features 4 acts with 4 levels each, as well as a final "experts only" level known as Bittersweet Way. Sweet Dreams uses a separate collectible known as Dream Moons and introduces mechanics not seen in the main campaign. Additional items can unlock bonus content such as collectible statues, jukebox tracks, and special powers that can be equipped at the start of a level.

Another mode is Tails' Challenges, which involve short daily missions that grant experience points for two unlockable item tracks (the main Tails track and a shorter Shadow track).

The game features both touch screen controls and controller support.

Doctor Eggman discovers an ancient relic called the Reverie, an object with dream-controlling powers that allows the pure of heart to bring their dreams into reality. Eggman, wanting to use this power for his own gain, steals the Reverie and kidnaps Cream the Rabbit and her Chao pet Cheese to use as a filter to access the relic's power. Eggman activates the Reverie upon which its guardian seals Eggman inside his own dreams before he can do any harm to reality. Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, Amy Rose and Rouge arrive at the scene to try and rescue Cream and Cheese, to which the guardian also sends everyone to sleep and as a result enter Eggman's dreams. Upon awakening in the dream world, known as Reverie Haven, Sonic meets the Guardian of the Reverie and Dreamweaver, Ariem. Ariem asks Sonic to collect Dream Orbs for her so that she can restore Sonic's friends and reclaim Reverie Haven from the dreamscapes Eggman has constructed.
