The past and the present collide in Sonic X Shadow Generations, with new abilities and stages on top of the remaster of a time-traveling classic adventure.

Posted 6 months ago

Sonic X Shadow Generations will bring new abilities and stages, as well as a full remaster of the original time-traveling adventure on October 25.

Play as Shadow in a mix of 2D and 3D Sonic stages, some all-new for a brand-new story campaign against Shadow's nemesis, Black Doom, when the game releases on all major consoles and PC this fall.

Shadow's new Doom powers lead to some extremely raw shots, like him growing black wings to fly and stop time with the return of Chaos Control. Man, he's so cool. He's the coolest hedgehog by far, dude.

This extended remake of Generations also adds a hub world called the White Space, with an open-world feel similar to Sonic Frontiers, adding another area to explore as you unlock new powers and uncover hidden secrets.
