The Sega Dreamcast, while a commercial failure, was a console brimming with innovative features and groundbreaking games. This article celebrates the Dreamcast’s legacy and explores its most notable titles, highlighting why it remains beloved by many gamers.
At Summer Game Fest, Sega treated attendees to a dessert truck featuring treats inspired by its upcoming games, including Shadow the Hedgehog’s cookies and cream milkshake. The shake was a delicious tribute to the character’s color scheme, but its sweetness seemed at odds with Shadow’s edgy personality. The upcoming game, “Sonic X Shadow Generations,” will include Shadow as a playable character, and fans are hoping for some tonal changes to reflect his darker nature. While the milkshake may not have fully captured Shadow’s essence, it was a tasty treat that showcased the excitement surrounding the upcoming game.
Sega has revealed Sonic Rumble, a multiplayer battle royale game for mobile devices inspired by titles like Fall Guys. Up to 32 players compete, navigating levels with iconic Sonic iconography and retro 2D platformer sections. Character customization and in-game items enhance gameplay. A closed beta runs from May 24 to 26, and the game is expected to fully release in the fall. Sonic Rumble joins other Sonic the Hedgehog games coming this year, including Sonic x Shadow Generations and Sonic Mania Plus on Netflix.
Metaphor: ReFantazio, the upcoming game from Atlus/Sega, will not feature romance options. This was confirmed by the developers during an official fan Q&A. While the game will still feature relationship-building and Social Links, these relationships will be platonic in nature. Check out our coverage of Persona 3 Reload for more on Atlus’ games.
