Persevering with the 12 months of Shadow celebrations, Sega has shared a model new trailer for Sonic X Shadow Generations, which showcases a few the levels returning for Shadow’s aspect of the journey.
And, similar to with Sonic’s levels in Sonic Generations, Shadow may also be revisiting ranges from earlier titles. Sega has highlighted three of these, they usually’ll be acquainted to all of you diehard Shadow followers.
First up is one we noticed and performed at Summer time Sport Fest 2024 — Remaining Chase, Shadow’s final stage in Sonic Journey 2. We in contrast this to all of the space-set ranges within the Dreamcast and GameCube recreation, however Remaining Chase is clearly the largest inspiration right here. The side-by-sides present the place Sega has diverted very barely from the unique stage, however largely, it is a nostalgia-fuelled journey into area.
Subsequent is Rail Canyon from Sonic Heroes — Group Darkish’s variant was the toughest of all 4 groups within the multiplatform journey, and truthfully, the glow-up right here is unbelievable. The lighting? The backdrops? Blimey…
Rounding out the trio is a stage from Sonic the Hedgehog, or Sonic 06: Kingdom Valley. This one seems beautiful and marks a fairly stark, lush change from the opposite Shadow ranges we have seen. The transition between the unique recreation and the Generations model within the trailer can be top-notch.
Sonic X Shadow Generations is a rerelease of, arguably, among the finest 3D Sonic titles on the market, Sonic Generations. The unique recreation launched on PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, PC, and 3DS again in 2011. The 3DS model really got here with numerous completely different levels in comparison with the console variations, together with one which’s returning for Shadow’s marketing campaign — a battle towards the Biolizard from Sonic Journey 2.
We have been massively impressed with how Sonic X Shadow Generations seems and feels thus far, however with little or no Change gameplay or footage to go on, we’ve some early considerations.
Final week, Sega shared a teaser for the accompanying animated particular Darkish Generations. On account of launch within the fall — presumably earlier than Sonic X Shadow releases — the three-parter will act as a prologue to Shadow’s story within the upcoming recreation. Plus, keen followers have noticed a teaser on the official web site that hints at a fourth playable character. Who might or not it’s?
