A Gaming Legend Returns In Sonic X Shadow Generations

Forget the dark lord Sauron, the true lord of the rings is smaller, bluer, and a great deal faster. Sonic the Hedgehog has been a video game icon for more than three decades now, and not only does he return to the big screen this year in Sonic the Hedgehog 3 movie, but he’s also blazing back onto consoles with brand new title, SONIC X SHADOW GENERATIONS.

A perfect blend of old and new, the swift cerulean one’s latest outing is a double adventure, combining two titles in one! The first, is a fully remastered update of classic title Sonic Generations, the hedgehog’s very first HD adventure, which debuted in 2011. Blending the frenetic 2D platforming of Sonic’s OG era with a modern, 3D twist, it sees two Sonic variants ‘Classic’ Sonic and ‘Modern’ Sonic, joining forces in an era-spanning adventure that pits them against chronological entity the Time Eater. Classic Sonic delivers breakneck 2D action, while Modern Sonic slips seamlessly between 2D and 3D environments, deploying skills such as his chain-jumping homing attack to defeat his foes. This 2024 glow-up completely refreshes the classic title with updated graphics, bonus content and additional challenges to be overcome.

The main event for  SONIC X SHADOW GENERATIONS, though, is an all-new adventure  and the very first game to place Shadow the Hedgehog, front and centre. Rather than facing off against this foe once more, Shadow Generations puts you directly in the prickly anti-hero’s running shoes as he’s drawn into a temporal anomaly and flung back into his own dark and distant past, revealing more of his backstory and staring-down galactic conqueror Black Doom. Unlike Sonic, however, Shadow has a number of tricks up his sleeve, from his time-freezing Chaos Control ability, to an assortment of game-changing Doom Powers, which allow him to do everything from hurl Doom Spears to blast enemies far into the distance, resulting in the most visually spectacular Sonic title to date.

SONIC X SHADOW GENERATIONS is available now both digitally and physically starting at £44.99 on PlayStation®5 (PS5®), PlayStation®4 (PS4®), Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, the Nintendo Switch™ family of systems, and PC. It’s the perfect way to experience Sonic on modern hardware and an opportunity to properly acquaint yourself with Shadow before Keanu Reeves brings him to life in the Sonic the Hedgehog  3 movie this Christmas.
