Movie Shadow coming to Sonic X Shadow Generations
Since Sonic the Hedgehog 3 is premiering this December to theaters worldwide, fans will finally be able to see the enigmatic anti-hero on the big screen. But don’t worry, players will get a chance at Keanu Reeves’ performance as Shadow The Hedgehog in a new DLC pack called Sonic the Hedgehog 3 Movie Pack. Get ready to play as not only the original Shadow but also as Movie Shadow who is voiced by the iconic Keanu Reeves.
According to Shun Nakamura, producer of the game,
“This title has been developed to satisfy not just the Sonic game fans, but also those who see the Sonic movie and become fans of Sonic and Shadow for the first time.
But of course, we didn’t expect to have Shadow from the movie included in this game, as the world for the movie and game are different – we thought that it would be challenging to do so.
However, we saw an almost festival-like opportunity where we have the movie and game being launched almost at the same time. We decided to pursue it and have work on movie-related content with development starting last Autumn. Since the game and the movie pack content are releasing before the film, we thought it would be ideal to have people to play the game and have their feelings about Shadow, then go out and see the movie. After experiencing the film, hopefully they would want to come back to play the game again as Shadow.
We imagined that with so many new Sonic fans who love the movies, perhaps this will be the perfect motivation to jump in and play Sonic X Shadow Generations if Shadow from the movie would appear.
Hopefully, this makes this holiday season and the Year of Shadow even more exciting for all types of Sonic (and Shadow) fans out there. “
Sonic X Shadow Generations is set to be released this October 25, 2024, for the PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, and PC (via Steam & Epic Games Store). Pre-order the game to receive bonuses as well including the Sonic The Hedgehog 3 Movie Pack which will be available online as part of the Digital Deluxe Edition of Sonic X Shadows Generations.
