Sonic x Shadow Generations has been officially announced, and it's set to re-introduce a classic Sonic game to a modern audience with all-new content.

Let's take a look at when the game is expected to come out, as well as its platforms, gameplay details and more.

Thanks to Summer Game Fest, we know Sonic x Shadow Generations will arrive on October 25, 2024.

The new game will be released on PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, Steam and Epic. That's a lot of platforms!

Sonic x Shadow Generations has two unique experiences included in one package.

Shadow the Hedgehog is returning in Sonic x Shadow Generations, and he has his own story campaign featuring "never-before-seen powers and abilities". We can see him running around a city in the trailer and fighting the Biolizard from Sonic Adventure 2.

The game also includes a complete remaster of the original Sonic Generations game, including the 2D and 3D stages as well as "new bonus content". The remaster will have upgraded visuals too.
