Sonic and Shadow are set to race onto PlayStation consoles this October in the highly anticipated release of Sonic x Shadow Generations. Sega has unveiled a first look at Shadow’s powerful new abilities, promising players a high-speed, action-packed experience like never before in the Sonic universe.
The remastered Sonic the Hedgehog platformer, Sonic x Shadow Generations, is a modernized version of the beloved Sonic Generations, featuring updated visuals and additional bonus content.

In the newly released trailer, fans get a sneak peek at Sonic and Shadow’s thrilling adventures, complete with exciting new levels and Shadow’s enhanced powers. Sonic x Shadow Generations is expected to deliver a high-speed, heroic gaming experience that will captivate players.
Shadow’s return also signals the comeback of his archenemy, Black Doom, who poses a threat to the world once again. Players will need to master Shadow’s new abilities and embark on a standalone campaign to confront enemies and tackle challenging platforming tasks to thwart Black Doom’s sinister plans. The game delves into Shadow’s dark origins, featuring an all-new hub world inspired by the open-zone gameplay of Sonic Frontiers, where players can unlock new powers and discover hidden secrets.
Additionally, Sonic Generations receives a visual upgrade, offering a greatest-hits collection for Sonic enthusiasts of all ages. The game combines nostalgic 3D and 2D Sonic stages from various generations with enhanced visuals and cinematics. Players can look forward to new collectibles, bonus content, and the return of the beloved pinball gameplay in the Casino Nights Zone.
Sonic x Shadow Generations will be available on PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4, offering both standard and Digital Deluxe editions. The Digital Deluxe version grants fans early access to the game, along with iconic music tracks from Sonic and Shadow’s previous games, a Terios skin inspired by Shadow’s original concept, behind-the-scenes art, an additional Shadow level and skin, and more.
Players can pre-order Sonic x Shadow Generations to receive a legacy skin for Sonic based on his appearance from Sonic Adventure. Moreover, those who pre-order the Physical Day One Edition will receive Gerald Robotnik’s Journal, a 28-page logbook detailing Gerald’s thoughts and sketches while creating Shadow and the Ark Space Station, providing fans with insights into Shadow’s backstory.
