Sega officially announced Sonic x Shadow Generations, a Sonic Generations remaster featuring Sonic's edgiest friend, during today's PlayStation State of Play.
We got a brief glimpse at Sonic and Shadow zooming through some levels, but little information otherwise. We do, however, know that it's slated for "Autumn 2024."

This is Sonic's latest outing in 3D following the release of the Apple Arcade exclusive Sonic Dream Team and 2022's Sonic Frontiers.
"It feels refreshing to be able to say that Sonic is good again. His upward trajectory over the last year continues and he’s only gaining momentum. Sonic Generations is largely a game for the most hardcore of Sonic fans, but for the millions who have fond memories of narrowly dodging spikes, grinding on rails, or even that time he was a pinball, Sonic Generations is a game made for you," we wrote in our original Sonic Generations review.
Beyond a new Sonic game in development, the blue hedgehog is also making its way onto the big screens again, with Sonic the Hedgehog 3 from Paramount Pictures set to release on December 20, 2024. The third film is also set to introduce Shadow the Hedgehog.
Aside from Sonic x Shadow Generations, Sony also revealed more info on Rise of the Ronin, Stellar Blade, and more. You can find everything announced right here.
