Sega really is showing off that Sonic X Shadow Generations is more than just a port, or even a remaster, of Sonic Generations to newer consoles.
This upcoming release will include a brand-new campaign starring Shadow The Hedgehog, and to hype it up even further, there’s a special “animated prologue” for the new Shadow Generations campaign, titled Dark Beginnings.
The new trailer is a teaser of Dark Beginnings, featuring Shadow and a blonde lady (fans of Shadow The Hedgehog (2005) would know her as Maria) sharing a moment together before chaos ensues.
The full animation will be available as DLC for Sonic X Shadow Generations.
Shadow Generations will see players control Shadow in his own separate campaign created for this release, featuring some familiar and new moveset.
Sonic Generations see two generations of Sonics collide. Play as Modern Sonic in 3D high-speed platforming levels as well as Classic Sonic where he runs in 2D levels akin to the numbered Sonic The Hedgehog games.
With Sonic X Shadow Generations, there is now two different campaigns, the other featuring Sonic’s rival and resident edgelord Shadow.
Sonic X Shadow Generations will be out on October 25 for the PS4, PS5, PC (Steam, Epic Games Store) and Xbox Series X|S.
