Sega has revealed its limited-edition trainer collaboration with Puma, to celebrate the release of Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds.

Puma already showed off the trainers back in August, but Sega has now unveiled the full capsule collection.

While Sonic gets a custom pair of Puma Inhale trainers, Shadow and Tails have their own version of the Puma Inverse. These come in blue, black, and yellow – according to the characters’ colours – and have various swappable features. I’m quite partial to the gold ring in the laces, myself.

In addition, Puma is releasing some apparel too, which “blends motorsport styling with graphic cues inspired by racing and design elements from Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds”.

The collection includes a hoodie, a jacket, t-shirts, and even a bum bag (or fanny pack, for those of you in the US).

The collaboration also goes the other way, with Puma-designed in-game decals with which to customise vehicles in Sonic Racing: Crossworlds. These will be added to the game for free.

The trainer and clothing collection launches on 30th October and will be available from the Puma online store, flagship stores, and selected stockists. The UK prices are yet to be confirmed.

And frankly, compared to Nike’s furry Donkey Kong trainers or the absolutely vile Animal Crossing Crocs, these Sonic-themed trainers are footwear I will happily slip my feet into.

As per leaks last month, Sonic and Shadow sneakers are also expected to make their way into Fortnite soon.

Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds is out now across all major platforms. Our review praised its “exquisite handling model” despite all the chaos.

I will neither confirm nor deny that I was among those miffed that a powerplanning mistake got their base pillaged and destroyed in Dune: Awakening, but I will say auto-run sure could make the recovery process from such an error less painful. Funcom must’ve heard that complaint more than once too, as Dune: Awakening has a new auto-run toggle on the way.

The blessed new keybind was included in the latest version of Dune: Awakening’s public test client and outlined in the patch notes. Behold:

“Implemented auto-run toggle which automatically moves character/vehicle forward.”

But yeah, truthfully I did screw up the power on my smaller mining outpost and felt so annoyed by the whole ordeal I put my Arrakis adventuring on hiatus. Auto-run was one of the first things I looked for when I started playing to make a quick alt-tab in and out of the game less annoying, and little quality-of-life goes a long way—I’ve been wanting to get back into it.

Of course the update doesn’t just center around auto-run. Dune: Awakening’s upcoming build also added new rewards for completing the Advanced Trainer Contracts with an “exclusive armor set specific to each trainer,” and players already done with those questlines get the goodies retroactively.

There’s also new quests for the journey storyline—remember you gotta find the Fremen and all that jazz—plus a Character Recustomizer for those of us who want a makeover without creating a whole new character. Funcom says they’re available in Harko Village and Arrakeen City along with new hairstyles and tattoos, though altering your appearance isn’t free. Can’t wait to skip out on my taxes after spending too much on tattoos.

A few other noteworthy highlights include:

Assault Ornithopters storage capacity increased to 20 slots/2,000 volume
A new Duraluminum-tier weapon, the Adept Missile Launcher
Easier organization from the Placeables and Vehicles menu with a new renaming function

The “improvements to mismatching and glitching building pieces” also has me itching to jump back in, but that could be such a small change I don’t even notice. It’s no secret I can be a bit of a base-building snob, but sometimes my building blocks misbehaved in some wild ways.

Anyone can try out the new patch through the Dune: Awakening Public Test Client, and Funcom is asking for player feedback before it pushes this update to the live build. If the patch keeps the same cadence as others, then I’m assuming it’ll be one or two weeks before I can auto-run my way straight into a big ol’ worm’s maw.

Auto-run is enough to get me to reinstall Dune: Awakening, but customization do-overs and trainer fashion sweeten the deal
