Persevering with the Yr of Shadow celebrations, Sega has shared a model new trailer for Sonic X Shadow Generations, which showcases a few the phases returning for Shadow’s aspect of the journey.
And, similar to with Sonic’s phases in Sonic Generations, Shadow can even be revisiting ranges from earlier titles. Sega has highlighted three of these, and so they’ll be acquainted to all of you diehard Shadow followers.
First up is one we noticed and performed at Summer time Recreation Fest 2024 — Last 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 sport, however Last Chase is clearly the largest inspiration right here. The side-by-sides present the place Sega has diverted very barely from the unique degree, however largely, it is a nostalgia-fuelled journey into house.
Subsequent is Rail Canyon from Sonic Heroes — Workforce Darkish’s variant was the toughest of all 4 groups within the multiplatform journey, and actually, the glow-up right here is unimaginable. The lighting? The backdrops? Blimey…
Rounding out the trio is a stage from Sonic the Hedgehog, or Sonic 06: Kingdom Valley. This one seems to be attractive and marks a fairly stark, lush change from the opposite Shadow ranges we have seen. The transition between the unique sport and the Generations model within the trailer can also be top-notch.
Sonic X Shadow Generations is a rerelease of, arguably, probably the greatest 3D Sonic titles on the market, Sonic Generations. The unique sport launched on PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, PC, and 3DS again in 2011. The 3DS model really got here with a lot of totally different phases in comparison with the console variations, together with one which’s returning for Shadow’s marketing campaign — a battle in opposition to the Biolizard from Sonic Journey 2.
We have been vastly impressed with how Sonic X Shadow Generations seems to be and feels to date, however with little or no Change gameplay or footage to go on, we’ve some early issues.
Final week, Sega shared a teaser for the accompanying animated particular Darkish Generations. Because 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 sport. Plus, keen followers have noticed a teaser on the official web site that hints at a fourth playable character. Who may or not it’s?
